Motomundo SA stores will start with an exclusive outlet for TVS Motor Company and within a year, it will expand it to 3 stores in Honduras.

TVS Motors on 24 February 2020 disclosed that its direct dependency on China for the import of automobile components has been limited. China is a key part of the global automobile supply chain.

The company is trying to normalise the issue as soon as possible, it said.

TVS Motor Company's consolidated net profit rose 0.6% to Rs 205.13 crore on a 7% decline in net sales to Rs 4,765.99 crore in Q3 December 2019 over Q3 December 2018.
