Chennai-headquartered two-wheeler and three-wheeler major TVS Motor Company has reported its strongest-ever quarterly sales performance in Q1 of FY2026, hitting a record 1.27 million units. This robust growth was underpinned by significant increases across both two-wheeler and three-wheeler segments, alongside a substantial boost in international business.

For June 2025, the company reported sales of 402,001 units, a 20 percent jump compared to 333,646 units sold in June 2024. Two-wheeler sales accounted for 385,698 units, up 20 percent YoY as compared to 322,168 units last year. Of this domestic market sales grew by 10 percent YoY at 281,012 units.

On the other hand, while demand for TVS iQube remains strong, the company reported sales of 14,400 units sold, a slight decrease from 15,859 units last year. This dip it attributed to the ongoing disruptions in the EV supply chain, particularly concerning the availability of magnets, which continues to pose short to medium-term challenges.

On the exports front, the company shipped 117,145 units last month, which was 54 percent higher as compared to 76,074 units in June 2024. Two-wheeler exports were particularly strong, growing by 58 percent to 104,686 units from 66,434 units in the previous year.

During the first quarter, two-wheeler sales grew 17 percent, with sales rising from 1.05 million units to 1.23 million units in Q1 FY2026.

Three-wheelers experienced 46 percent increase, with sales climbing from around 31,000 units in Q1 FY25 to about 45,000 units in the current quarter.

Total exports for the quarter grew by 39 percent, reaching 352,000 units compared to 254,000 units in the first quarter of FY2025.

The event saw popular Indian actor Salman Khan further deepening his involvement with the event, by not only being the brand ambassador, but also his plans to become an investor in the league.

Furthermore, ISRL also aims to setup ‘ISRL Proving Grounds’, a dedicated grassroots motorsport development facility spread across 7 acres in Pune. It will offer amateur racing, kids’ track, motocross, supercross, ATVs and electric bikes among others.

ISRL, owned by Team Supercross India, is led by former international racers Veer Patel (two-time national SX Champion) and Eeshan Lokhande.

Salman Khan, said, “I’ve always been passionate about motorcycles and off-roading, when I saw what ISRL is building bringing together world-class talent, supporting home-grown athletes, and creating an entire ecosystem and lifestyle around the sport, I knew this was something I wanted to be part of, not just as a face, but as a believer. This league is about pushing boundaries, and that’s something I connect with deeply. With the launch of the ‘ISRL Proving Grounds’, we’re giving India’s youth the opportunity to access the support, tools and coaching they need to chase big dreams and compete on a global stage. At the same time, ISRL is equally focused on promoting responsible riding and the importance of safety for racers and fans.”

Veer Patel, Managing Director, ISRL, said, “Salman Khan’s evolution from brand ambassador to investor is a testament to his confidence in ISRL’s vision. This move brings unmatched cultural capital and mainstream trust to our league, reinforcing our positioning as a credible, scalable business built for India’s next generation. His association sends a clear message to the market that Supercross is ready to lead the future of motorsport, youth engagement and brand innovation in India.”

Following an its debut season across Pune, Ahmedabad and Bangalore, ISRL's five-year roadmap includes rapid expansion, international collaborations and significant growth in franchise value and sponsorships, aiming to redefine India's sports-entertainment and automotive marketing landscape.
