TVS Motor names Peyman Kargar CEO from January

TVS Motor Company said Peyman Kargar has been appointed director and chief executive officer, effective January 27, 2027.

Kargar, the company's president for international business, will succeed K. N. Radhakrishnan. TVS said Kargar has more than three decades of international automotive leadership experience.

The announcement came as TVS presented four production-ready models for European customers at EICMA 2026 in Milan: the TVS Orbiter, TVS M1-S, TVS X and TVS RTR 125. Three of the four models are electric.

The company said hundreds of visitors test rode TVS Motor models at EICMA for the first time. It also gave the '82 Series Collection, four one-off concept motorcycles, its first global showing in Milan.

TVS said Europe is an increasingly important market for its international business. It said its Italian network now has more than 100 retailers, with sales in Italy up 110 percent over the past year. It also said 22 retailers are operating in Spain and Portugal, with France and Germany next.
