years to make motorcycles at its plant in Mysore or Hosur.
BMW will bear the cost of testing and development in Germany.The motorcycles
are expected to roll out by the end of 2015.

9. MOTIVE OFTHE DEAL
BMW
BMW sold 117,000 motorcycles in 2012,but is heavily dependent on western
markets such as US, Germany and France and has negligible presence in India.
So it wanted to enter into Indian market and thereafter spread to Asia.
TVS
OverallTVS’ market share has been slipping a whole lot. It’s lost its third slot to
Honda Motors. Its motorbike market share is just a mere 5-6%.
So with the deal company would try to gain its market share back.

10. IMPACT OFTHE DEAL
TVS
Shares ofTVS rose to Rs 42.35 a piece on the BSE following the deal.They closed up
9.93 per cent at Rs 39.85.
BMW
No current impact has been seen on BMW.

11. EXPERT COMMENTS
 The deal will be a positive forTVS from a strategic point of view as it could open
the doors for the company in international markets according to Yaresh
Kothari, analyst, Angel Broking.
 It is unlikely to result in any significant improvement in earnings or volume for
TVS in the domestic market, said the Mumbai-based analyst.
 For BMW, this deal should help gain a foothold in the Indian motorcycle market,
Kothari said.
 “It is a logical step to develop motorcycles below 500 cc for emerging markets in
Asia and South America to improve profitability.” Stephan Schaller, president
of BMW Motorrad, said.
 TVS chiefVenu Srinivasan said the company would benefit by revamping its
product line-up and developing models above 250cc.

12. CONCLUSION
 BMW will benefit from this deal as it wants to enter into the Asian markets and
reduce its dependency on the US markets.
 Much cannot be said aboutTVS but it seems that there will be some impact in
company’s growth as it can be already seen that the Deal was followed by a
rise in the share prices of the company.
 TVS now will be capable of producing bikes between 200-500cc with the use
of BMW’s technology and can compete with its rivals
