Hero MotoCorp has reported a strong start to FY 2027, with total deliveries of 5,66,086 units in April 2026, registering a sharp growth of 85.36% year-on-year as compared to 3,05,406 units sold in April 2025. The company’s performance was driven by strong domestic demand and strong growth in both motorcycles and scooters. However, on a month-on-month basis, volumes declined by 5.37% compared to 5,98,198 units in March 2026, which is in line with general trends since the end of the financial year.
Domestic market drives growth
Hero MotoCorp’s domestic sales stood at 5,32,433 units, registering a strong growth of 84.54% YoY as compared to 2,88,524 units sold in April last year. Domestic sales account for over 94% of total sales, underscoring the brand’s dominance in the Indian market.
The company also reported strong retail momentum with over 5.52 lakh vehicle registrations (except Telangana), indicating sustained demand at the grassroots level. Exports contributed 33,653 units, showing a 99.34% YoY growth, although on a monthly basis, exports declined by 26.35%, reflecting some volatility in the international markets.
Motorcycles remained ahead, scooters increased
Motorcycles remained the backbone of Hero MotoCorp’s portfolio, with sales of 5,01,791 units, registering a growth of 75.40% year-on-year and contributing about 89% to the total volumes. Scooters saw even sharper growth, with sales rising to 64,295 units, up 232.84% year-on-year, albeit on a smaller base. This growth was supported by the growing presence in the scooter segment as well as the strong performance of models like Zoom. On a month-on-month basis, both the segments saw a marginal decline, with motorcycles declining by 5.75% and scooters by 2.31%.
Growth Supported by ICE and EV Momentum
Hero MotoCorp said its internal combustion engine (ICE) portfolio recorded its highest April dispatches in the post-pandemic period, with strong demand across the entry, deluxe and premium segments.
The company’s electric mobility arm, VIDA, also continued to gain momentum, doubling its volumes with over 129% year-on-year growth. Additionally, Hero expanded its retail footprint with 70 new touchpoints including Premia outlets, taking the total Premia network to 132 outlets across India.
Global expansion and brand push
Hero MotoCorp’s global business remained robust, supported by steady demand in international markets. The company has recently partnered with Quilmotors in Ecuador to strengthen its presence in South America covering assembly, sales and after-sales operations. On the brand front, Hero also launched a new campaign for its Zoom scooter range targeting young urban buyers.
Hero MotoCorp’s April 2026 performance highlights strong demand recovery and broad-based growth across segments. While motorcycles continue to dominate volumes, scooters and EVs are emerging as important growth drivers.
