  • We study the boosted dark matter (BDM) scenario in a two-component model. We consider a neutrinophilic two-Higgs doublet model ($ν$2HDM), which consists of one extra Higgs doublet and a light right-handed neutrino. This model is extended with a light ($\sim 10$~MeV) singlet scalar DM $ϕ_3$, which is stabilized under an extra dark $Z_2^{\rm DM}$ symmetry and can only effectively annihilate through the CP even scalar $H$. Although oblique parameters put tight constraints on the model, introduction of vectorlike leptons (VLL) can potentially salvage the issue. The vectorlike doublet $N$ and singlet $χ$ are also stabilized through dark $Z_2^{\rm DM}$ symmetry. The lightest vectorlike mass eigenstate ($χ_1 \sim 100$~GeV) is the 2nd DM component of the model. The fermion DM is restricted in a narrow mass region while a somewhat broader mass region is allowed for the scalar DM. However, when two DM sectors are coupled, the annihilation channel $χ_1 χ_1 \to ϕ_3 ϕ_3$ opens up. As a result, the fermionic relic density decreases, and paves way for broader fermionic DM mass region with under-abundant relic: a region of $[30-65]$ GeV compared to a narrower $[40-50]$ GeV window for the single component case. On the other hand, the light DM $ϕ_3$ acquires significant boost from the annihilation of $χ_1$, causing a dilution in the resonant annihilation of $ϕ_3$. This in turn increases the scalar DM relic, allowing for a smaller mass region compared to the individual case. The exact and underabundant relic is achievable in a significant parameter space of the two-component model where the total DM relic is mainly dominated by the fermionic DM contribution. The scalar DM is found to be sub-dominant or equally dominant ($\sim 30 \% - 80 \%$ of total DM) with significant boost which can be detected in experiments.
