Kotak Institutional Equities has retained its 'Add' rating on TVS Motor , citing multiple demand and execution levers expected to sustain the company's growth momentum over the medium term. The brokerage has revised its fair value to ₹3,950.00, rolling forward its valuation to March 2028.
Kotak expects TVS Motor to continue outperforming the broader two-wheeler industry, driven by a combination of domestic recovery, electric vehicle leadership, network expansion, and strong export momentum. Reflecting higher volume assumptions, the brokerage has raised its FY2026–28 EBITDA estimates by 4–6%.
Domestic Two-Wheeler Market Recovery
The domestic two-wheeler segment has shown strong recovery momentum, with retail volumes growing 9% year-on-year in FY26 to date. This growth has been supported by strong momentum in ICE scooters and motorcycles above 125cc, while improved vehicle financing conditions and GST rate cuts post-September have further aided demand.
| Performance Metric | Growth Rate |
|---|---|
| Domestic Two-Wheeler Retail Volumes (FY26 YTD) | +9% YoY |
| TVS Motor Domestic ICE Growth (FY26 YTD) | +18% YoY |
| Festive Season Volume Growth | +15% |
TVS Motor has significantly outperformed the domestic ICE market, registering 18% year-on-year growth in FY26 to date. This outperformance has been driven by continued market share gains in scooters and premium motorcycles—segments that are growing faster than the industry average and carry a higher mix for TVS Motor.
Electric Vehicle Leadership and Market Expansion
TVS Motor continues to maintain its leadership position in the electric two-wheeler space, with market share consistently above 20%. The company has sustained momentum through new launches such as the Orbiter, along with continued traction in the iQube portfolio, despite some moderation following GST changes.
| EV Segment Performance | Details |
|---|---|
| EV Two-Wheeler Market Share | Above 20% |
| EV Two-Wheeler Retail Sales Growth (FY26 YTD) | +15% YoY |
| EV Three-Wheeler Unit Sales (FY26 YTD) | ~20,000 units |
| EV Three-Wheeler Market Share (Sub-5 tonne) | Over 10% |
The brokerage highlighted TVS Motor's successful entry into the EV three-wheeler segment, where it has already achieved around 20,000 unit sales in FY26 to date and captured over 10% market share in the sub-5 tonne category within months of launch.
Strong Export Performance
Export operations remain a significant growth pillar for TVS Motor, with the company demonstrating exceptional performance in international markets. Export volumes rose 34% year-on-year in FY26 to date, significantly outperforming the industry growth of 24%.
| Export Performance | Growth Rate |
|---|---|
| TVS Motor Export Volumes (FY26 YTD) | +34% YoY |
| Industry Export Growth | +24% YoY |
Kotak believes export demand remains robust, driven by a favourable base in Africa, steady performance in Latin America, and expansion into Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bangladesh, though growth is expected to moderate beyond FY27.
Analyst Consensus and Outlook
While input cost inflation remains a key risk to monitor, Kotak believes the balance of drivers supports sustained growth, justifying its continued 'Add' stance on the stock. The brokerage expects the company to maintain its outperformance, supported by a strong brand presence in scooters and premium motorcycles, along with efforts to address gaps in the premium 125cc motorcycle segment.
