Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, achieved its highest-ever retail sales during the recent 32-day festive period, starting from Navratri.

The company states it sold 1.6 million two-wheelers, up 13 percent YoY, with robust demand from both urban and rural India.

Hero MotoCorp’s growth was led by the 125cc motorcycle segment, with Xtreme 125R, as a key driver, while the 100cc segment also contributed positively to the company's strong sales performance.

Vida, Hero MotoCorp's electric vehicle brand, also achieved a significant milestone of 11,600 unit sales during the same period. The OEM say the EV business was leveraging Hero Premia and Hero 2.0 outlets, in conjunction with a heightened emphasis on the Top 30 towns, which yielded positive results.

In the premium space, the Harley-Davidson X440 went home to 2,800 buyers. The company expects further growth as it expands the Premia network to over 100 locations by the end of this fiscal year.

Niranjan Gupta, CEO, Hero MotoCorp, said “For the second consecutive year we have achieved our highest-ever festive retail sales, which is a testament to Hero MotoCorp's position as the preferred brand in India. We are grateful for the unwavering trust of our millions of customers. There has been good momentum and growth in most parts of the country with rural sales catching up with the urban segment in the latter half of the festive season. We expect the momentum to continue and are optimistic about the remainder of the year.”
