TVS Ntorq 150 Launch Creates Buzz: Market Reaction and Rivalry with Hero Xoom 160 and Yamaha Aerox 155
Nowadays, the Indian scooter market has seen a new explosion when TVS Motor launched its boldest and most stylish scooter, the TVS Ntorq 150. Designed for the youth, this scooter is not just a ride but a lifestyle statement. Stock market investors are also closely watching TVS’s shares after this launch, as it can give a new push to both the company’s growth and market image.
TVS Motor Shares in Focus After Hyper Scooter Launch
TVS Motor shares have shown a rise of 3% so far in 2025, but it is still down 2% compared to the last year. The technical indicators of the stock chart show a positive trend as it is trading above all the key simple moving averages. But one concern is that the stock is in a slightly overbought zone due to the RSI being at 80.9, which shows the possibility of a short-term pullback. The MACD being at 127.7 is a clear signal of a strong upward momentum.
Meanwhile, Nomura brokerage has shown confidence in TVS by upgrading its target price, and said that the company’s product pipeline – be it electric or ICE (internal combustion engine) – is strong on both sides. After this upgrade, TVS Motor’s stock has come under the radar of more investors.
