In 1980 TVS 50, India's first two-seater moped rolled out of the factory at Hosur in Tamil Nadu, Southern India. A byword for reliability, the TVS 50 had proved itself promising and successful in every test and paved a way for many successes for TVS Suzuki. Likewise the TVS champ and super Champ gave a reliable and sturdy two wheeler to public, who wanted looks fused with economy. These two wheelers together redefined the category of mopeds in India. TVS later left its collaboration with Suzuki and started to manufacture its own vehicles.

TVS Motors Company is currently the third largest two wheeler company in India with sales of 107,117 units (as of June 2007). The company exported 9,133 units of two wheelers in June 2007.
