Hero MotoCorp

Hero MotoCorp, India’s leading two-wheeler manufacturer, has announced a temporary suspension of production at four of its key manufacturing facilities between April 17 and April 19, 2025. This planned pause is part of a short-term supply alignment initiative and will also be used to carry out maintenance and operational upgrades. The company assured stakeholders that the move would not disrupt retail supply across domestic or international markets, as operations at its Tirupati and Halol plants will continue uninterrupted.

India’s automotive retail landscape in FY25 has been marked by a resilient uptick, driven primarily by the performance of the two-wheeler segment. Hero MotoCorp has emerged as the clear market leader, with over 5.4 million units sold, regaining momentum in an increasingly competitive environment. Data from the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) underscores broader sectoral gains, including an 8% rise in two-wheeler registrations and a 6% overall boost in automotive retail activity.
