Speaking on the announcement, Gaurav Gupta, President – India 2W
Business, TVS Motor Company said, “TVS Motor has built a strong and
well-defined EV portfolio, and the launch of TVS Orbiter V1 further strengthens
this lineup by introducing the most accessible entry point into our electric
scooter range. Alongside this, the introduction of BaaS represents an important
shift in customers’ approach to EV ownership. By separating the vehicle price from
the battery usage cost, we are enabling greater flexibility while providing customers
a clear understanding of the overall cost of ownership.”
As electric mobility enters its next phase of growth, expanding access
to practical everyday EV mobility becomes increasingly important.
“We remain committed to consolidating our
leadership in the EV space and advancing India’s electric mobility journey with
a strong foundation of trust and innovation. The TVS Orbiter V2, which was
launched last year, has been very well received by customers, and their
feedback has reinforced the opportunity to further expand the lineup. The
introduction of TVS Orbiter V1 reflects these insights, bringing a more
accessible option for everyday urban commuting. Together with flexible
ownership models like BaaS, we believe the TVS EV portfolio will continue to
drive wider acceptance and accelerate EV adoption across India,” said Aniruddha Haldar, Senior
Vice President – Head Commuter & EV Business and Head Corporate Brand &
Media, TVS Motor Company.
