Hero MotoCorp sales increase marginally in May

The country's largest two-wheeler maker Hero MotoCorp today reported a marginal increase in its total sales at 5,57,890 units for May this year.

In the same month last year, it had sold 5,56,644 units, Hero MotoCorp said in a statement.

Hero MotoCorp Senior Vice President (Marketing and Sales) Anil Dua said: "The demand momentum that we had seen on our product range in April continued in May as well, helping us achieve over 1.1 million retail sales in the two-month period.

"This retail off-take has been helped by our star brands, our new product range as also the recently-introduced five-year warranty on our entire portfolio."

He added that going forward, with forecast of a normal monsoon, the company expects sentiments to be good, thus helping it sustain the current momentum.
