“Our success during the year was underpinned by robust growth across the premium, scooter, and EV segments, fuelled by several new product launches. Export volumes outpaced industry trends, and we further expanded our premium retail footprint across India while entering new global markets. We are observing strong retail traction, especially in our new premium and scooter offerings. Continued consolidation in the core segment, growth in the 125cc category, and the upcoming EV launch position us well for sustained momentum,” said Kasbekar.

Hero MotoCorp continued to accelerate its premiumisation strategy with the launch of several new models during FY25, including the Xtreme 250R, Xpulse 210, and the 2024 edition of the Xtreme 160R 2V. In the scooter segment, the company reinforced its presence with the introduction of the New Destini 125, Xoom 125, and Xoom 160, further broadening its diverse product lineup.

“Hero MotoCorp delivered strong financial performance during the year, driven by disciplined fiscal management and focused strategic execution. Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about the near‐to‐mid‐term outlook, key macroeconomic indicators, including revised income tax slabs, repo rate cuts, a strengthening rural economy, and a favorable monsoon forecast, are expected to support industry growth,” said Vivek Anand, chief financial officer, Hero MotoCorp.

The company’s growth was also led by robust performance in both the EV and global business. Strengthening its foothold in the EV category, the company recorded its highest-ever EV sales, marking a nearly 200% increase over FY24. Hero MotoCorp continued its upward trajectory, registering a 43% growth year-on-year in its global business.
