Hero MotoCorp Accelerates 125cc Game: New Launches, Industry Growth Optimism, and Lean Inventory Strategy

Hero MotoCorp is charging ahead with an aggressive product strategy for 2025, focusing on the fast-growing 125cc segment and maintaining a confident outlook despite a recent short-term production halt at four plants.

 

Key Highlights:

Production Pause-No Retail Impact: From April 17-19, Hero temporarily halted production at four manufacturing plants for supply alignment and facility maintenance. Operations at two other plants continued uninterrupted, and the company confirmed that this planned pause would not impact its ability to meet retail demand, with any output deferment to be recovered swiftly in the following month.

 

Financial Strength: Hero MotoCorp reported a 16.9% rise in FY25 net profit, driven by strong demand for new launches, especially in the premium and electric segments. The company sold over 54 lakh units last year, retaining its leadership in the domestic two-wheeler market.

 

Hero’s dynamic approach-combining bold launches, operational discipline, and a positive industry outlook-positions it for sustained momentum in 2025.
