Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer, has reported its wholesales for September 2025 and YTD FY2026.

The company sold a total of 687,220 two-wheelers in September, which marked a 7.87 percent as compared to 637,050 units last year.

The month’s dispatch performance coincided with a major milestone: Hero MotoCorp became the first Indian company to surpass the 125 million cumulative two-wheeler production mark.

Hero MotoCorp stated that positive momentum is visible across the business. Showroom and dealership footfalls have more than doubled compared to the festive season last year, driven by the festive spirit and new GST benefits, with significant traction observed in the high-volume commuter segment.

The company’s electric vehicle business, Vida, powered by Hero, continued its strong growth trajectory, recording 12,736 VAHAN registrations in September 2025. This performance, led by the recently launched Vida VX2 Evooter, resulted in a sharp YoY EV market share rise from 4.7 percent to 12.2 percent, underscoring growing consumer trust in the brand. The company noted that demand for Vida currently remains ahead of supply in several key markets, indicating robust traction for its EV business this festive season.
