Hero MotoCorp expects the ongoing festival season to be "one of the best" in terms of sales, helping it maintain leadership position in the domestic two-wheeler segment this year as well, according to a senior company executive. The country's largest two-wheeler maker, which recently crossed 125 million unit production milestone, expects the GST rate cut on two-wheelers to boost demand and compensate for the loss of sales in the period leading up to the major tax reform. "Its probably the best macro environment that we've had in a long, long time, and it should fructify in much better numbers than the industry anticipated earlier," Hero MotoCorp Chief Business Officer Ashutosh Varma told PTI in an interaction.

Two-wheeler maker Hero MotoCorp on Wednesday said it will cut prices of its various models by up to Rs 15,743 to pass on the full benefit of the GST rate reduction to customers. The new pricing will be effective from September 22, Hero MotoCorp said in a regulatory filing.

"In addition, more than half of the Indian households use two-wheelers for their daily needs, making it critical for mass mobility," he said, adding that the timing is opportune and ahead of the festive season. It makes two-wheelers more affordable and accessi
