Quality and Manufacturing Excellence as a Philosophy
Our focus on quality is an expression of our belief that trust is built
through consistency and attention to every detail across people, processes, and products.
This commitment ensures every product and service delivers exceptional reliability,
safety, comfort, and performance that exceeds expectations.
Our dedication to operational excellence and continuous improvement has
earned TVSM significant industry recognition. In a landmark achievement, all our
manufacturing plants in India were awarded Level 4 of the prestigious TPM Advanced Special
Award. With this, TVSM became the first two-wheeler manufacturer in India to receive this
distinction across all its factories - a testament to our industry-leading standards in
product quality, operational efficiency, and rigorous TPM practices.
Our focus on quality is also validated by independent benchmarks like
the J.D. Power 2025 India TwoWheeler Study, where TVSM outperformed compared to the
industry average. This consistent outperformance reinforces our position as a quality
leader and reflects the trust and satisfaction of our customers worldwide.
Performance Culture that Rewards Excellence
Our most valued asset remains our people.
Our success over the past decade reflects the passion, integrity, and
purpose with which our teams operate - across factories, service centres, research units
and boardrooms. We continue to invest in talent development, embrace diversity, and build
future-ready skills. Over the years, women have come to represent nearly 20% of our
workforce.
We are especially proud of the long tenure of many individuals who have
been with us for up to three decades, exemplifying the strength of our culture and
commitment to our people.
