New Delhi, May 2021.
Hero
MotoCorp, the world’s largest manufacturer of
motorcycles and scooters, sold 372,285 units in the month of April 2021.
The sales in April’21 were subdued due
to the temporary closure of plant operations and the retail outlets across
several key territories in Indiaon account of the impact of the second wave of
COVID-19.
The sales numbers of April 2021is not comparable
with the corresponding month of the previous year (April’20), since no vehicles
were manufactured and dispatched to dealers,due to the nationwide lockdown after
the outbreak of Covid-19.
In keeping with its commitment to the safety
and welfare of its people and to break the chain of the spread of Coronavirus, Hero
MotoCorp has decided to extend the shutdown at its manufacturing facilities
across India, its Global Parts Center (GPC)in Neemranaand the R&D facility
– the Centre of Innovation and Technology (CIT) in Jaipur by another six days
till May 9, 2021. The plant operations will
resume on May 10.
Hero MotoCorp had proactively halted the
plant operations temporarily in a staggered manner for four days from April
22-May 1, in view of the rapid escalation in the spread of Covid-19 across the
country.
All corporate offices of the company are
in Work from Home (WFH) mode and a very small number of colleagues are allowed
in offices on rotation basis for the continuity of essential services.
The company is continuously monitoring
the situation and aims to compensate for the production loss during the
remainder of the quarter.
