Hero MotoCorp sells over 10 lakh units in festive period

New Delhi: Country's largest two-wheeler maker Hero MotoCorp has clocked over 10 lakh units in retail sales during the festive season this year.

"Thanks to the phenomenal customer response to our range of products, including all the new launches, the 1 million unit landmark was achieved during the 35-day festive period starting with the Navratras," Hero MotoCorp Ltd said in a statement.

This is a robust 11 per cent growth over the corresponding period last year, it added.

"Our two new scooters -- Maestro Edge and Duet -- have been blockbusters and there has also been phenomenal demand for the new Splendor PRO," the company said.

These, along with the robust sales of Passion PRO and Glamour bikes, and the continuing popularity of Pleasure and Maestro scooters have resulted in this double digit growth, it added.

"We are focused on taking this momentum forward as we look to drive growth in the rest of the year and beyond," the company said.

Hero MotoCorp shares today ended at Rs 2,571.85 apiece on the BSE, down 1 per cent from previous close.
