TVS has played a significant role in the Nepalese motorcycle market. The Hosur-based manufacturer launched the first-ever Apache in India back in 2005 and has been one of the top choices ever since. Since then, the TVS Apache series has only grown, both in terms of models and fans, in the Nepalese as well as several international markets. TVS has reported that it has crossed the 40 lakh (4 million) global sales milestone.
Mr. R. Dilip, Executive Vice President - International Business, TVS Motor Company, speaks to Nepal Drives about the TVS Apache 4 Million global sales milestone and the company's growth plans going forward in the Nepalese market.
