Tata Group is considering injecting another US$ 2 billion (bn) of fresh capital into its super app venture as the salt-to-software conglomerate seeks to bolster its digital business.

Tata Digital Pvt. will receive the additional funding over two years should a deal proceed, which could help the conglomerate's super-app Tata Neu in multiple ways.

Tata Group has asked Tata Digital to look for ways to boost the valuation of the super app.

The Tata Neu app, which was launched in April 2022, brings together grocery-to-hotel-to-airline ticket booking services and many of the group's brands on a single platform as the conglomerate seeks to have a bigger play in the fast-growing Indian e-commerce space.

TVS Motor gains ground in EV market

For TVS Motor, increasing electric vehicle (EV) penetration was flagged as a key risk as the automaker derives a significant portion of its volume from internal combustion engine (ICE) scooters. This segment is the most vulnerable to rising EV adoption.

But with TVS focusing on electrification, volumes of its EV product, iQube has risen.

The automaker's market share in the electric two-wheeler (2W) segment has increased from almost 2% in January 2022 to 20% in March 2023 so far.

So far, in 2023, TVS holds the second spot in terms of market share in the electric 2W segment. Ola Electric currently holds the top position with nearly 27% market share.

TVS' March-to-date electric 2W market share is comparable to the 24% market share in ICE scooters.

Further, TVS plans to launch more products in the EV segment, which would further aid volumes. Electric 2W volumes formed 5-6% of total 2W wholesale volumes in January-February.

Further, the company has managed to battle cost pressures.

This was one reason for the 73% appreciation in TVS stock over the past year, besides the company's improving prospects in the EV segment.

With riding the EV opportunities in the two-wheeler space, it is among the?top EV revolution companies in India.

Note that the?electric vehicle (EV) megatrend?is a once-in-a-century revolution happening right in front of us.

The revolution has taken the auto sector by storm. All segments of the sector are ripe for disruption, and?India's top EV stocks?are set to benefit from this shift.
