In news from the automobile sector, TVS Motor is among the top buzzing stocks today.

The company's 2021-22 annual report suggests it has robust plans to scale up its play in the electric vehicle segment.

TVS Motor Company aims to build a sustained dominant play in the electric vehicle (EV) segment by leveraging various government initiatives like production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme, among others.

Here's an excerpt from the report:

• The industry is slated to grow rapidly and the company has robust plans for this segment.
  
  In addition, with the strategic association with BMW, the company will be exploring the joint design and development of urban EV options for the global markets.

In the year gone by, TVS sold more than 10,000 EVs.

During the year ended March 2022, the company's overall two- and three-wheeler sales, including international business, grew by 8%.

TVS expects to outperform the industry in terms of sales growth on the back of new product launches and economic activity once again gathering pace.

Speaking of EVs, have a look at the chart below which shows the massive opportunity in the two-wheeler EVs.

Here's what lead Smallcap Analyst at Equitymaster, Richa Agarwal wrote about this in one of the editions of Profit Hunter:

• In the last five years, two-wheeler sales in India were around 2 crore units per year. Now the sector is cyclical and has been in the downturn for some time. So let's consider a moderate 5% growth for the next 10 years.
  
  By 2030, we are looking at 2-wheeler sales of 3 crore units. Even if one third of this is EV sales, that's 1 crore electric 2-wheelers per year.
  
  In the last 2 years, average electric 2-wheeler sales were 1.5 lakh units. From 1.5 lakh to 1 crore, that's a 66x opportunity in 2-wheeler EVs.
  
  This is an annual growth rate of 52% over next 10 years. It's an almost vertical growth opportunity.

As per Richa, this is like a gold rush. But like in any gold rush, the winners will just be a few.
