TVS has sold over one lakh units of the NTorq 125 since its launch and the scooter remains one of the top-selling models in its segment. The 125 cc offering competes against a number of offerings including the Honda Grazia, Aprila SR 125 and the Suzuki Burgman Street 125. The NTorq remains the most affordable of the three, but will soon face competition from the Hero Maestro Edge 125 that is expected to go on sale soon.
