TVS Motor tops global shareholder-value ranking

TVS Motor Company has topped a global shareholder-value ranking in the “Durable Consumer Goods” category, underlining the scale of its recent business momentum. The company said the recognition from WirtschaftsWoche and Boston Consulting Group was based on a five-year review of more than 2,000 listed firms across 35 industries, with TVS emerging ahead of major peers from India and overseas.

TVS said it delivered an average annual total shareholder return of about 51 per cent between 2021 and 2025, supported by strong revenue growth, a richer market valuation, better profitability and a sturdier balance sheet. That combination helped the company fit the study’s profile of resilient businesses: profitable, growth-led and financially disciplined.

TVS Motor reported its highest-ever annual sales at 5.89 million units, a 24 per cent jump from the previous year. Revenue climbed 30 per cent to Rs 47,270 crore, operating profit before tax rose 40 per cent to Rs 4,975 crore, and operating EBITDA margin improved to 12.9 per cent.

International demand also remained a bright spot, with the company saying overseas business grew 33 per cent across more than 90 markets. In a statement, Chief Mentor Professor Sir Ralf Speth credited Chairman Sudarshan Venu’s strategic direction, the company’s focus on technology and customers, and a culture rooted in manufacturing excellence and social responsibility.
