These 19 tyres will be manufactured at the two plants under the TVS Srichakra and will be used for vehicles ranging between 70cc mopeds to 500cc superbikes.

The Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, P Madhavan said that in the coming six months of the brand, it may get merged with the existing parent brand TVS Tyres. He also notified that a Research and Development centre had been set up in Milan some 7 to 8 months before. It had recruited officials to have a better understanding of the international trends that the tyres have been following around the world.
The company has been dealing with the current slowdown with the help of aftermarket sales and export. In an official statement, the company’s President, P. Srinivasavaradhan said, "Our OEM sales have been coming down in line with the slowdown in the automobile sector. However, aftermarket sale is steadily climbing. Exports are also growing rapidly. As far as exports are concerned, we are planning to enter new geographies and expand in existing geographies."
Reacting on the current slowdown, he said that the tyre industry has not been impacted as much as the OEMs and called it a ‘temporary phase’.
