Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer, has further consolidated its leadership, clocking over 1 million (10 lakh) units in retail sales during the festive season this year. The 1 million unit landmark was achieved during the 35-day festive period starting with the Navratri. This is an increase of 11% in retail sales over the corresponding period last year.
The company’s two new scooters, Maestro Edge and Duet, have been blockbusters while there has also been a phenomenal demand for the new Splendor PRO. These, along with the sales of Passion PRO and Glamour bikes, and the continuing popularity of Pleasure and Maestro scooters have resulted in this double digit growth.
Hero MotoCorp is the world’s single largest two-wheeler motorcycle company. Hero Honda Motors changed its name to Hero MotoCorp following the exit of its erstwhile Japanese promoter, Honda, from the company.
