As opposed to Hero MotoCorp’s sales performance from February 2024, there was note-worthy MoM growth and a gain in volume
World’s largest 2W manufacturer in volume, Hero MotoCorp, ended the month of March 2024 on a positive note. We’re talking about YoY and MoM growth across most aspects like motorcycles, scooters, domestic and international businesses. It was green all the way for India’s largest 2W manufacturer where MoM sales are concerned.

The 2W juggernaut of the world, Hero MotoCorp, managed to push out a total of 4,90,415 units last month including domestic and export markets. With 4,56,724 motorcycles sold last month, Hero MotoCorp witnessed a 6.38% YoY decline over 4,85,896 units sold in March 2023.
