"We achieved highest-ever revenue and profit in the year, reinforcing our position as the market leader for the 24th consecutive year, closing both CY24 and FY25 at the top," Hero MotoCorp Executive Director and Acting CEO Vikram S Kasbekar said.

The company's success during the year was underpinned by robust growth across the premium, scooter, and EV segments, fuelled by several new product launches, he said.

"Export volumes outpaced industry trends, and we further expanded our premium retail footprint across India while entering new global markets," Kasbekar said.

The company is observing strong retail traction, especially in the new premium and scooter offerings, he said.

Continued consolidation in the core segment, growth in the 125cc category, and the upcoming EV launch positions the company well for sustained momentum, he added.

"Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about the near to mid term outlook. Key macroeconomic indicators, including revised income tax slabs, repo rate cuts, a strengthening rural economy, and a favourable monsoon forecast, are expected to support industry growth," Hero MotoCorp CFO Vivek Anand stated.

During the board meeting, Executive Chairman Pawan Munjal praised the strong national leadership for dealing with terror threats.

"The Pahalgam attack and the recent developments along our borders serve as a powerful reminder of the ongoing threats our nation faces...Moments like these highlight the true essence of leadership — it's not just about running organisations, but about shaping how we respond, how we support, and how we lead with empathy and resolve," he stated.
