Hero MotoCorp has credited its strong sales performance to a surge in demand across urban and rural markets during the festive season, which is a peak period for vehicle sales in India. As mentioned before, the overall positive consumer sentiment played a significant role in driving these high numbers.

The company highlighted that the Xtreme 125R was a major contributor to growth in the 125cc segment, while the 100cc motorcycles also supported strong sales. Furthermore, the manufacturer's electric vehicle brand, VIDA, achieved a key milestone by selling 11,600 electric scooters during the festive period. In the premium segment, the X440, developed in collaboration with Harley-Davidson, performed well, with over 2,800 units sold, boosting Hero MotoCorp’s overall festive sales. 

The expansion of the VIDA network, supported by Hero Premia and Hero 2.0 outlets, along with a focused push in the top 30 towns, is showing promising outcomes. The company also indicated that the upcoming product lineup will provide additional momentum for the brand. With plans to grow the Premia network to over 100 locations by the close of the fiscal year, Hero MotoCorp aims to improve the reach and availability of this brand, reinforcing its market presence.
