Speaking on the occasion, Pawan Munjal - Chairman, MD & CEO of Hero Motocorp said, "The 70 million cumulative production is special because this has been possible due to our sustained leadership performance. This is a proud moment not just for us as a Company, but also for the entire nation, especially with the Prime Minister's focus on the 'Make in India' initiative. However, instead of resting on our laurels, we are now gearing up for the next Big Milestone of 100 Million cumulative production."
