Hero sold more than 40.58 lakh units in the first three quarters of the Financial Year 2022- 23 (April-December 2022). This translates into a growth of 8 per cent over the corresponding period in the previous fiscal (FY’22), when it had sold 37.55 lakh units.

Hero says that the upcoming marriage and festive season in many parts of the country, and with the continuously improving consumer sentiment on account of favourable macro-economic indicators, it expects a positive momentum to build up from the fourth quarter onwards.
