TVS Motor Company has announced the PETRONAS TVS India One Make Championship (OMC) 2026 Training and Selection Programme, reinforcing its commitment to building competitive racing talent in India. The nationwide trials will run from January 17 to February 7, 2026 across Bengaluru, Pune, Delhi and Kolkata, followed by final selections at the Madras International Circuit in May 2026. The upcoming season coincides with 20 years of racing-derived engineering for TVS Apache, reflecting the company’s ‘Track to Road’ philosophy.
The program includes Women’s, Rookie, RR 310, and Young Media Racer categories with defined eligibility rules and podium-based exclusions for previous champions. Riders will train and compete on race-tuned TVS Apache motorcycles, supported by track-first safety standards such as FIM-certified helmets, Alpinestars airbag jackets and FIM-spec racing suits. TVS Racing, which has prepared over 3,000 riders since 1994, says the aim is to “build racers, not just organise races.”
In Guwahati, the announcement is expected to further lift interest in performance motorcycles and formal racing training in the Northeast, where the TVS Apache brand already enjoys strong youth following and dealership traction. Industry observers say the OMC’s disciplined training ecosystem strengthens the value proposition of racing-inspired street motorcycles. With 43 years of motorsport heritage, TVS Racing continues to invest in grassroots talent through structured learning and high-safety racing environments, positioning the 2026 OMC as a key driver in expanding India’s professional motorsports ecosystem.
