South-based homegrown two-wheeler maker TVS has announced that it will expand its operations concentrating in the East. The company will invest in West Bengal and has planned further expansion in its East India operations by de-merging its two-wheeler business with Mahabharat Motors Manufacturing Company in West Bengal.

The company has given approval for the demerger on Saturday by the West Bengal's Commerce and Industry Minister, Partha Chaterjee.
