Hero MotoCorp Sept sales up 11% at 6,74,961 units

Country's largest two-wheeler maker Hero MotoCorp on Monday reported an 11.24 per cent increase in sales at 6,74,961 units in September.

The company sold 6,06,744 units in September 2015, Hero MotoCorp said in a statement.

The company recorded its highest-ever sales in September beating the previous best in October 2015 when the company had sold 6,39,802 units, Hero MotoCorp said in a statement.

This is the second consecutive month that Hero has sold six-lakh plus units, having clocked a sales figure of 6,16,424 unit in August, it added.

The growth momentum is backed by a series of positive factors, including the successful market launch of the 'Splendor iSmart 110' - the first motorcycle completely designed and developed in-house by Hero's own R&D team, it said.

The company further said that augmented leadership in the 125cc segment with 'Glamour' emerging as the largest-selling 125cc motorcycle in the country and the positive trend maintained by the new scooter portfolio also contributed to the sales performance.
