Reflecting the broad-based slowdown in consumption, two-wheeler sales in India for scooters and motorcycles, showed no signs of turning the corner in June, as most companies crimped dispatches to align demand to supply. Combined sales of top six makers skidded 11% to 1,608,395 units during the month over the same period a year ago, showed monthly sales data released by companies.

Chennai-based two-wheeler major TVS Motor has been granted a patent for the rear fuel tank for scooters, an innovation it spearheaded in the industry, to help riders easily perform refuelling without having to open the seat.

The company is one of the auto firms that introduced the rear fuel tank for scooters with external filler cap in brands such as Wego, Jupiter and NTorq, bringing innovation to the conventional way of placing the fuel tank beneath the seat.

India’s big three two-wheeler makers on Monday hit out at NITI Aayog’s plan to push for 100 per cent electric vehicle, saying such a transition is completely uncalled for and could jeopardise the industry.

Arguing that changing from conventional two-wheelers to 100 per cent electric is “not like Aadhaar, not a software and print cards”, the companies said concerns of all stakeholders must be taken into consideration instead of imposing adoption of EVs.

The government has refused to relent on the deadlines it has given two- and three-wheelers for running on batteries.

The deadline for three-wheelers is 2023, and that for two-wheelers having up to a 150-cc engine is 2025.

Leading two-wheeler makers Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor Company said Monday that any plan to ban internal combustion engine three-wheelers and two-wheelers to adopt electric ones by 2025 would be "unrealistic" and "ill-timed" and derail auto manufacturing in the country.

The comments come in response to some media reports that the government was considering a proposal to ban sale of internal combustion engine (ICE) three-wheelers by 2023 and less than 150 cc two-wheelers by 2025.

Diversified global giant Mitsubishi Corporation has became a substantial minority stakeholder in TVS Automobile Solutions Private Limited (TASL), one of India’s leading independent aftermarket solutions provider and part of the $8.5-billion TVS group.

The Indian motorcycle market is taking a turn for the better with several offerings in various segments. You name it and they’ll have it - 150, 250, 300, 400, 600 and so on. A growing number of Indian motorcyclists want more than just a big mileage figure and are happy to accept dopamine-releasing performance and it’s alright if it drinks more fuel.
