What was behind the company’s growth?
Hero MotoCorp’s performance was supported by consistent gains in market share in its core ICE business and key segments.
The growth was broad-based across the 100cc to 125cc, scooters and premium motorcycle segments, driven by a number of well-received product refreshes and the Company’s highest-ever festive season.
PL Capital, a stock broker and online trading platform, said that while the premium portfolio is yet to reap the benefits of GST2.0 rate rationalization, the entry-level motorcycle industry is showing signs of revival with HMCL gaining market share.
The statement said retail market share increased during the September-October 2025 festive period but has since fallen on an annual basis. However, a recovery is seen with the annual decline in stocks. Below normal monsoon rains may dampen rural sentiment and impact motorcycle sales. Scooter and overall exports continue to increase, albeit on a lower base.
Commenting on its 26th quarter financial performance, Harshavaradhan Chitale, CEO of Hero MotoCorp, said: “This growth has been broad-based, driven by a strong premium and electric vehicle product portfolio and momentum in both domestic and global markets. Looking ahead, we are encouraged by supportive government policies, positive consumer loyalty and sentiment, and the accelerating shift towards electrification and premiumization. These factors position us well for fiscal 2020 as we continue to lead the industry’s transition towards sustainability and innovative mobility.” solutions.”
