What the record says.
TVS Motor delivered its highest-ever Q1 FY27 results with 28% volume growth to 1.63 million units and 38% revenue growth to ₹13,896 crore, driven by strong domestic ICE growth (21% vs 13% industry), 86% EV surge to 130,000 units, and 33% export growth to 468,000 units. EBITDA margin expanded 30bps to 12.8% despite 3.5% commodity cost inflation in Q1 (with another 5% expected in Q2), mitigated by price increases (~1.5% in Q1, ~0.5% in Q2), product mix benefits, and scale. PAT grew 51% to ₹1,174 crore including ₹150 crore fair valuation gain vs ₹28 crore last year. International business hit record highs across Africa, Asia, and LatAm, with HLX crossing 5 million cumulative units (last 1 million achieved in just 1 year). EV penetration reached 10.6% in June alone, with iQ crossing 1 million cumulative sales. Norton motorcycles launched production with 4 premium models targeting UK, Europe, US, and India. Management guided Q2 to continue similar or better momentum with double-digit industry growth, and announced ₹3,500 crore capex for capacity expansion to 8.3 million units. Key risk: commodity volatility from West Asia tensions and competitor discounting in scooters while TVS maintains premium positioning with <30 days dealer inventory.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects ICE double-digit growth with EV momentum to continue at similar or better levels than Q1's 86% growth rate.
- Despite Q3 monsoon/seasonal watch, management sees 2026-27 as an extremely good year for two-wheelers with structural demand drivers intact.
- Two-wheeler capacity ramping from 6.8M to 8.3M with 3W capacity from 25K to 42K; ₹3,500 crore capex allocated for new products and capacity.
- Current exports at 26% of turnover; management aims to grow this significantly leveraging Apache, Ronin, RTX, and EV products across Africa, LatAm, and Middle East.
Risks flagged
- Sharp increases in steel, aluminium, and oil-linked components caused ~3.5% material cost increase in Q1 with another ~5% expected in Q2. Supply chain disruptions affected April production.
- Goldman Sachs analyst raised the prospect of Delhi banning ICE two-wheeler sales from 2028. Management responded by saying they will embrace transitions and work on green technologies but did not provide specific mitigation strategy.
- UBS analyst noted a major rival is on a discounting spree in scooters, placing TVS products at substantial premium. Management did not provide specific competitive response strategy beyond emphasizing product quality, JD Power leadership, and innovation cadence.
- Management flagged watch on El Nino impact and GST benefit base effect comparison (last year's benefits started late September vs this year's October-November festive season).
Key quotes
- We have also able to mitigate this cost increases through topline growth also some price adjustments in quarter 1 and we are also closely watching and we will do appropriate opportunity-driven right price increases in Q2.
- I am of the view that if a category share will go up substantially and we need to learn from our consumer and customer requirement what opportunity we can do to further increase it.
- I think this year is going to be an extremely good year. But the only important thing we have to all watch is the Q3 because the El Nino plus the base effect GST the benefits started coming end of September and this year the season is going to be October November.
