Reflecting
a strong customer preference for most trusted brands, Hero MotoCorp Ltd, the
world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer, sold 806,848 units of motorcycles
and scooters in October 2020 – its highest-ever sales in any single month.
Continuing its growth momentum, Hero MotoCorp
reported a robust double-digit growth of 35% over the corresponding
month of the previous year (October 2019), when the company had sold 599,248
units.
A positive turnaround in customer sentiments
– particularly for motorcycles across markets, continued government policy
support and a credible resumption of supply chain, logistics and business
operations have enabled the company to achieve record numbers during the
auspicious festive period.
With the higher dispatches during the month,
the company’s customer touch points across the country now have adequate
inventories in line with market demand in the ongoing festival period.
The company has also registered significant
gains in market share in the second quarter (July-September) across product
categories and geographies and expect to further build on this momentum going
ahead.
