These sales figures are mostly credited to the popular two-wheelers in India, segmentwise, namely- the 100cc segment includes Hero Splendor+ and the affordable and efficient Hero HF Deluxe. On the other hand, the 125cc motorcycle segment was packed with Hero Glamour and Hero’s Super Splendor. And lastly, the most loved premium motorcycles were Hero Xtreme 160R and the Hero XPulse.

The biggest reason for Hero MotoCorp’s successful sales records is the planning of dealerships and the execution of the entire process amidst the pandemic when people were not able to visit the dealerships. In a press statement, the company said that “Hero MotoCorp has continued to consolidate its market share in the domestic two-wheeler market since the resumption of plant operations and retail sales in early May. Hero MotoCorp’s market share has grown by more than 500 bps in the month of October,”. While the pandemic has not left us, now that the world has resumed working and everyone has accepted the new normal, Hero MotoCorp continues to expect positive growth in the near future.
