Haldar will lead both TVS's petrol and electric two-wheeler businesses in India

Autocar Professional has learned that Haldar's role will cover TVS's petrol and electric two-wheelers in India. He joined TVS in 2011 and has held senior marketing roles across scooters, commuter motorcycles and the corporate brand. Vimal Sumbly will continue to head the premium two-wheeler business, while U B Pandey will remain the sales head. Both will now report to Haldar.

Gaurav Gupta, the current president of the business, joined TVS in February 2025 and is leaving to pursue an external opportunity. He was previously deputy managing director and chief growth officer at JSW MG Motor India.

Meanwhile, Peyman Kargar, currently president, International Business, will take over as director and CEO on January 27, 2027, succeeding K N Radhakrishnan. Radhakrishnan will then serve as a non-executive director until the annual general meeting in July 2027. Kargar will also continue to oversee the international business until a new head is appointed. TVS is reportedly considering both internal and external candidates for the role.

TVS has also reshuffled some other roles, with three senior executives taking on additional responsibilities. A Rajkumar, senior vice president, Business Planning, will also handle special projects for the overseas business in the Asian region. Madhu Prakash Singh, vice president, International Business, will additionally oversee new mobility projects. Shaikh Mohammed Imran, associate vice president, Retail Transformation (India), will also oversee retail transformation in international markets.

The reshuffle is the latest move in chairman Sudarshan Venu's push to give greater responsibility to existing executives, as TVS overtook Yamaha last year to become the world's third-largest two-wheeler maker by volume.
