Chennai-headquartered two-wheeler and three-wheeler major TVS Motor Company has reported its strongest-ever quarterly sales performance in Q1 of FY2026, hitting a record 1.27 million units. This robust growth was underpinned by significant increases across both two-wheeler and three-wheeler segments, alongside a substantial boost in international business.

On the other hand, while demand for TVS iQube remains strong, the company reported sales of 14,400 units sold, a slight decrease from 15,859 units last year.
