Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, dispatched 512,360 units of motorcycles and scooters in August 2024.
Domestic sales during the month stood at 492,263 units. Month sales were marginally impacted by supply shortages, which will be made up in September.
Hero MotoCorp registered a month-on-month growth of 38% in its overall dispatch volumes and has sold 24,17,790 units in FY’25 (Apr-Aug), a growth of 8% over the corresponding period of FY’24.
Hero MotoCorp is geared to ramp-up for the upcoming festive season, where it expects a healthy growth. With faster recovery expected in the rural segment, growth in the 125cc segment, new launches in scooters and strong investment behind power brands, the company expects to grow ahead of the industry.

The company also continued its positive trend in Global Business with August dispatches growing both sequential and year-on-year and YTD (Apr-Aug’25) sales up by 32%. In the 125cc segment, the company is witnessing a good offtake for its diverse portfolio, especially for the Xtreme 125R.
