Mumbai-headquartered JSW Group looks to double down on its ambition to become a formidable player in the Indian automotive industry with plans to acquire a majority stake in Volkswagen for its operations in the country, says a Bloomberg report.

It is no secret that despite investing billions in India, Volkswagen has been struggling to find a strong foothold in the country and has been aiming to attain a 3-5 percent market share without much success.

In FY2026, passenger vehicle sales in India touched 4.64 million units. During the same period, Volkswagen India and Skoda Auto India sold a total of 37,576 units and 75,556 units, respectively, translating to a combined market share of 2.5 percent.

The report further stated that the partners are in advanced discussions, wherein JSW will pick up a significant stake in Skoda Auto Volkswagen India, with the announcement expected in the coming few weeks.

For the unversed, Volkswagen has been scouting for a suitable partner in India, with previous reports indicating a potential partnership with Mahindra Group and Tata Motors, among others.

Interestingly, JSW Group has been aggressively looking to expand its presence and grab a meaningful share in the Indian automotive industry. It already has a presence in the passenger vehicle segment, being the largest shareholder in JSW MG Group India, in addition to its newly established JSW Motors, with the first model set to be introduced in the next few months.

As per media reports, the European automaker has also scaled down its investment plans from the earlier planned EUR 1 billion to EUR 700 million, as it looks to narrow down losses in the country.

Chennai-headquartered two-wheeler and three-wheeler major TVS Motor Company is optimistic about delivering above-industry growth in the coming quarters, supported by robust structural demand drivers, replacement needs, improving affordability, and accelerating electric vehicle (EV) adoption.

In a post-earnings call, K N Radhakrishnan, Director and Chief Executive Officer, TVS Motor Company, said, “Structural demand drivers, replacement demand, affordability, and continued EV adoption. All these are going to be supportive and I’m pretty confident that TVS will do much better than the industry growth.”

The company continues to see strong momentum in its electric vehicle segment. Following the milestone of crossing one million iQube sales, EV penetration exceeded 10.6 percent in June.

TVS Motor Co’s manufacturing capacity for electric two-wheelers is being scaled from 40,000 units towards more than 50,000 units, while three-wheeler EV capacity is expanding to approximately 30,000 units.

Radhakrishnan sees demand for internal combustion engine (ICE) two-wheelers to remain solid in the domestic market, with the company’s scooter portfolio — including the Jupiter, Ntorq and Scooty ranges — registering robust retail offtake. This has been supported by targeted product upgrades and disciplined inventory management, with dealer stock levels maintained below 30 days.

TVS Apache Crosses 7 Million Sales Milestone, Launches Tu Race Laga Campaign

On the international front, TVS Motor achieved record Q1 sales of 4.68 million units, a 33 percent YoY increase. Growth was driven by a recovery in Africa, expansion in Latin America and strong demand for the HLX series. The company is targeting an increase in total two-wheeler capacity to 8.3 million units.

Despite commodity price volatility and supply chain challenges in April, TVS Motor delivered a healthy operating EBITDA margin of 12.8 percent through strategic price adjustments of approximately 1.5 percent in Q1, ongoing cost optimisation and benefits from scale.

With the festive season approaching in October and November, the company expects sustained momentum across both domestic and international markets, supported by new product introductions and an expanding global footprint.
