myTVS, India’s digital automotive aftermarket platform and part of the $3 billion TVS Mobility Group, has officially launched its pan-India ‘Mobility-as-a-Service’ (MaaS) platform aimed at last-mile EV fleet operators. This comprehensive platform integrates a range of services for the entire electric vehicle (EV) fleet lifecycle, including leasing, real-time fleet management, servicing, spare parts management, charging solutions, telematics, roadside assistance, insurance, and tyre management.
The MaaS platform boasts a digital catalogue of over 180,000 SKUs and offers vehicle refurbishment services to enhance fleet longevity and efficiency. myTVS aims to become the go-to brand for last-mile fleet operators, enabling them to scale operations effectively through strategic partnerships with all stakeholders in the EV ecosystem.
As part of this initiative, myTVS has formed a strategic alliance with MoEVing, a leading EV-based logistics company in India. This partnership is expected to drive growth in the quickly evolving quick commerce sector, which is increasingly looking to electrify its operations to meet sustainability goals.
“This launch marks a pivotal transition for myTVS from personal mobility to fleet mobility solutions,” said G Srinivasa Raghavan, Managing Director of myTVS. “Our platform is tailored to meet the evolving demands of both personal and fleet mobility customers, ensuring efficiency and sustainability. With over 1,000 service outlets across India, we are uniquely positioned to support fleet operators with 24/7 telematics, a Network Operations Centre, and diagnostic services that maximise vehicle uptime.”
Vikash Mishra, CEO of MoEVing, emphasised the importance of ecosystem partnerships for accelerating EV adoption in India. “The launch of the MaaS platform by myTVS addresses a critical market need, offering a holistic solution that aligns with our mission to enhance service delivery and expand our national footprint.”
A recent BCG report forecasts significant growth in the organised last-mile delivery market, particularly in food, grocery, and e-commerce sectors, with EV adoption projected to reach 20-30% in organised fleets by 2025.
Raghavan concluded, “With over 1 million customers, myTVS is one of the fastest-growing aftermarket service providers in India. We plan to add another 2,500 outlets in the next two years, aiming for a market share of 10-12%.”
The myTVS MaaS platform offers flexibility and is designed to integrate seamlessly with OEM manufacturers, insurance providers, financial services, and leasing companies, ensuring comprehensive support for all stakeholders in the electric mobility landscape.

RBI restricts withdrawals from Jalna-based Mantha Urban Coop Bank for 6 months
Published
3 months agoon
September 22, 2024
Reserve Bank of India on Tuesday imposed restrictions on withdrawals from Maharashtra-based Mantha Urban Cooperative Bank for six months.
The RBI, in a release, said it has issued certain directions to Mantha Urban Cooperative Bank, Mantha District Jalna, Maharashtra, from the close of business on November 17, 2020.
As per the directions, the bank will not, without prior approval of RBI in writing, grant or renew any loans and advances, make any investment, incur any liability including borrowal of funds and acceptance of fresh deposits, disburse or agree to disburse any payment, among others.
“In particular, no deposit of the total balance across all savings bank or current account or any other account of a depositor may be allowed to be withdrawn” subject to conditions stated in the directions, the central bank said.
The directions will remain in force for a period of six months from the close of business of November 17, 2020 and are subject to review, it added.
It further said the issue of the directions by the RBI should not per se be construed as cancellation of banking license by RBI.
The bank will continue to undertake banking business with restrictions till its financial position improves, the central bank said, and added it may consider modifications of the directions depending upon circumstances.
In a separate release, RBI said it has imposed monetary penalty of Rs 20 lakh on Bengaluru-based Shushruati Souharda Sahakara Bank Niyamita for deficiencies in regulatory compliance.
The central bank also imposed a penalty of Rs 1 lakh on The Deccan Urban Co-operative Bank, Vijayapura, Karnataka, for contravention of the directions issued by it on prohibition of loans and advances to directors.
The story has been taken from a news agency
