Speaking about overtaking Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India in exports, Deepak Mokashi, head of global business, Hero MotoCorp said, “We have had phenomenal sales of our scooters in the international market in the calendar year 2014. It has been greatly helped by our good sales performance in the neighbouring markets of Sri Lanka and Nepal and also in Turkey, where the scooter segment is doing very well. Going forward, we are planning to keep up the growth trajectory by scaling up the sales of scooters in some of our other key global markets such as in South and Central America. We also plan to manufacture scooters in Colombia, once our upcoming plant near Cali becomes operational later this year.”
