TVS has just launched the Scooty Zest in India which is a new variant of the popular scooter. TVS has been betting big on scooters and the launch of the Jupiter last year has helped them beat Bajaj Auto in domestic two-wheeler sales.
TVS refreshed the Wego earlier this year while the Jupiter continues to bring in strong numbers.
