Hero MotoCorp plans to boost growth in under-represented segments: CEO

Hero MotoCorp aims to strengthen its presence in segments such as scooters, premium bikes, and electric vehicles, where it currently remains under-represented, according to the company's CEO Harshvardhan Chitale. The country's largest two-wheeler maker also expects to expand its presence in international markets and the parts and accessories business. "While we take pride as a team in our volume leadership at Hero MotoCorp, we are all acutely aware of the opportunities that exist in some of the other categories, which are growing faster and where we are relatively under-represented," Chitale said in an analyst call. "Hence, we see a big headroom for growth and market share expansion in categories like scooters, in premium motorcycles, in global markets, in EV, and also above all, parts and accessories business because we are a company that has the biggest park size in the market," he added. For the December quarter, the company reported a revenue of Rs 12,487 crore with a PAT of Rs

The easing of rare-earth supply is expected to drive electric two-wheeler volume growth in India to 16-18 per cent next fiscal after moderating to 12-13 per cent in the ongoing fiscal due to supply chain constraints, according to Crisil Ratings. This fiscal, the electric two-wheeler (E2W) growth is expected to moderate due to temporary disruptions in the supply of rare-earth magnets and the goods and services tax (GST) rationalisation on internal combustion engine (ICE) models, Crisil Ratings said in a statement. In the previous fiscal, E2W volume growth was at 22 per cent, it added. "The supply disruption caused by the shortage of rare-earth magnets had weighed on E2W volumes around mid-year. As availability began to ease, coinciding with the GST-led price revision in ICE models, OEMs relied on discounting and introduced lower-priced electric models to narrow the ICE-EV price gap," Crisil Ratings Senior Director Anuj Sethi said. While this has supported a recovery in volumes in ..
