Hero MotoCorp closed December with a sharp 40% rise in sales, underscoring a strong finish to the calendar year for India’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer. The surge reflects improving consumer demand, effective festive-season execution, and steady recovery across both rural and urban markets. Higher dispatches of motorcycles and scooters, supported by better inventory availability and targeted product offerings, contributed to the performance. The December rebound also signals growing confidence in discretionary spending as financing conditions stabilize.
