⚠️ Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

High dependence on TVSM for dividend income (INR 239 Cr in FY25). A significant decline in TVSM's credit profile or a market crash reducing the investment value below 10x debt cover would trigger a rating downgrade.

Geographic Concentration Risk

Revenue is primarily dependent on the Indian market through TVSM's domestic sales and HCIFPL's domestic finance operations.

Third Party Dependencies

High dependency on the promoter group; 74.45% of TVSHL is held by the promoter group (VS Trust holds 66.55%).

Technology Obsolescence Risk

TVSM faces technology risks in the transition to EVs, mitigated by its 20.9% market share in electric scooters and ongoing R&D investments.

Credit & Counterparty Risk

TVSHL has strong liquidity with INR 13 Cr cash balance and no negative ALM mismatches as of Sept 30, 2025. Debt cover of 87x provides substantial cushion.
