What Happened
Hero MotoCorp, the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, reported total dispatches of 533,416 units in July 2026, up 19% from 449,755 units in July 2025. The growth was driven by robust domestic ICE sales and continued momentum in its VIDA electric mobility business. The company also expanded its global footprint and laid the foundation for a new parts center in Tirupati.
VIDA dispatched 22,714 units in July 2026. It made its first global debut into Nepal, a significant milestone. The brand also unveiled its refreshed identity, VOOM, and introduced a new high-capacity 4.4 kWh variant.
The domestic ICE business dispatched 478,689 units in July 2026, up approximately 19% from 401,171 units a year earlier. Strong retail traction came from the Splendor, new Passion, Glamour X, and upgraded Super Splendor XTEC 2.0, while the Destini and Xoom series led the scooter portfolio. A new marketing campaign, 'Hero Ka Scooter, Scooter Ka Hero,' uses imaginative storytelling about a father-daughter bond to position the Destini as a trusted family partner.
Global Business dispatches reached 32,013 units in July 2026, driven by aggressive international expansion. The company officially entered Ecuador and Germany, with Germany marking its 53rd global market. This reinforces its strategy to deliver sustainable, premium mobility solutions to international markets.
Hero MotoCorp laid the foundation stone for its second state-of-the-art Global Parts Center in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. The facility will serve as a strategic hub for domestic and export spare parts logistics and help scale annual production capacity at the Tirupati plant, where 100% of Hero MotoCorp's EV portfolio is engineered and built. The move complements ongoing investments in Ather Energy and EV ecosystems.
