reducing the stock of motorcycles in trade, even as it witnessed a 4%

than most players in the industry.
The company has rolled out a new 110 cc StaR City, which will be available

simultaneously rolled out, the new 125cc Flame and Apache EFI will hit the
market in the coming months and is expected to provide impetus to sales.
With the other products that were rolled out expected to hit the market in
the coming months, TVS would have significant presence in the economy,
executive and premium segments.
The company will also enter the three wheeler market, having already rolled
out three variants Petrol, LPG and CNG in the two stroke version. Four
stroke three wheelers are also expected to be launched in the coming months.
The company hopes to capitalize on growth of the three wheeler market, which
has witnessed a 21% compounded annual growth rate in the last five years.
