Summary

TVS Motor Company saw electric two-wheeler sales jump 158 percent year-on-year in July. Overall sales increased 38 percent, reaching the highest monthly figure ever. India's electric car market also experienced substantial growth, nearly doubling its sales. Higher fuel prices and improved EV infrastructure are driving consumer interest. This trend supports the broader resilience of India's auto market.
