Hero MotoCorp sold a total of 3,49,393 two wheelers in the past month that includes both domestic sales as well as exports
Even as Hero MotoCorp led the two wheeler segment in terms of sales in the past month, de-growth was reported across all segments. Hero MotoCorp, the largest two wheeler maker in India reported a 40.89 percent drop in total sales in November 2021. These sales were the company’s lowest in 7 years during the festive period.
The company cites a range of reasons for this fall. It could be due to a delay in harvesting because of late withdrawal of monsoons across many parts of the country. This had an adverse effect on demand through the festive season.
