Two-wheeler and three-wheeler major TVS Motor Company on Thursday posted 32.4% growth in its first quarter net profit on the back highest ever quarterly vehicle sales registered during the period.

The Chennai-based company clocked consolidated net profit of Rs 610.04 crore, compared to Rs 460.88 crore in the year-ago period. Revenue from operations during the April-June period rose 18.4% on year to Rs 12,210.05 crore.

Strong growth in earnings metric reflects uptick in sales of both two-wheelers and three-wheelers. During the quarter, TVS registered the highest-ever quarterly sales of 12.77 Lakh units.

Higher volume and a robust mix of higher margin products boosted the company’s profit margins in the quarter.

Riding on the premiumisation wave, TVS Motor has strategically shifted its focus from mass-market models to premium motorcycles and scooters. 

Models like Apache and Ntorq series have elevated the brand's appeal among the young buyers while boosting the company's market share and margins. During the quarter, the company launched Jupiter 125 in a dual color variant and a new Apache RR310 with more race-tuned and segment-first technology.
