Our retail sales during the ongoing festive season have been quite steady so far, thanks to the new motorcycles and scooters that we have launched recently, and our slew of innovative schemes for customers. We hope to keep the momentum during the upcoming Dhanteras and Diwalifestivals. We have launched five new products – including three new premium motorcycles and two scooters – in the first five months of the financial year, at a time when companies are holding back new product launches and investments. The initial market response to these products – the XPulse twins and the Xtreme 200S motorcycles and the Maestro Edge 125 Fl – India’s first scooter with Fuel Injection technology – and the Pleasure+ 110 scooter – has been quite encouraging.
– Niranjan Gupta, Chief Financial Officer, Hero MotoCorp
Growth of the industry is driven by first time customers. We have therefore, aggressively pursued this segment of customers through various innovative financing options, both in terms of affordability and convenience. This has helped us to expand our customer base during the ongoing festive season. We are also gearing up for the market launch of our first BS VI motorcycle soon after the festive season, which will mark the commencement of the sequential transition to our BS-VI range over the next few months.
