Moment of Pride for India A few hours after 6.04 pm IST, when India and the world received and applauded the electrifying news of the Chandrayaan-3 Lander Module touching down on the moon, TVS Motor Co unveiled its second electric scooter – the TVS X – at a mega event held at the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building in Dubai.
The Chennai-headquartered two-wheeler manufacturer has pinned its focus on the design, performance and connectivity aspects of its latest electric offering which will go to market in November 2023. The X will be first rolled out in Bengaluru, with subsequent launches in at least 15 cities by the end of FY2024.
The all-new TVS X is based on TVS’ ‘form-follows-function’ design approach while ensuring desirability as well as the disruptive nature of the product attributes. “The X is a mystery and is not restricted to any boundaries of either the conventional scooter or motorcycle design in the market,” said a company official while showcasing the product.

Sudarshan Venu Managing Director of TVS-X Said:
Sudarshan Venu, Managing Director of TVS Motor, said it is encouraging to see actions being done in the transportation sector to reduce carbon footprint in light of how climate change has been hurting people all over the world.
India has the world’s largest two-wheeler market and the economy with the greatest rate of growth. The government’s initiatives to stimulate investment in electric vehicles are motivating for Indian businesses. Additionally, consumers in India set worldwide trends. Globally, consumers’ demand for EVs is rising, he continued.
In 2020, the business released the iQube, its first electric scooter. It costs Rs123,776 in Delhi. “It has grown to be one of the top brands in just three years, with hundreds of thousands of happy customers. And things look much more hopeful in the future,” said Sudarshan Venu
