Strategic Drivers and Market Share Gain
The strong financial results were driven by strategic successes and favorable market conditions:

This growth was led by the Entry, Deluxe, and Scooter segments (including models like HF Deluxe Pro and Glamour X).
- Policy Boost: CFO Vivek Anand attributed the momentum to the simplification of India’s indirect tax structure (GST regime), which demonstrably improved consumer sentiment.
- Product Strategy: Growth was aided by new launches and portfolio refreshes in the 100cc to 125cc segments, including the HF Deluxe Pro, Glamour X, Destini 125, Xoom 160, and Xpulse 210.
Emerging Mobility and Global Expansion
Hero MotoCorp accelerated its focus on emerging mobility and international markets:
- EV Business (VIDA): The VIDA brand achieved its highest-ever EV business market share of 11.7% and reported strong festive traction. The brand also revealed its VIDA NOVUS portfolio and VIDA DIRT.E off-road electric motorcycle concepts at EICMA 2025.
- Global Growth: The Global Business segment achieved dispatch growth of 77% during the quarter—three times the industry growth rate—led by markets like Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Colombia. The company also marked its entry into Europe and the UK markets with its Euro5+ compliant portfolio.
