Hero MotoCorp to Launch 12 New Two-Wheelers Including EVs and Bikes

Hero MotoCorp is getting ready to launch its largest product attack in years. The company is diversifying its product lines from its core of commuter motorcycles into electric scooters, high-end motorcycles and bigger motorcycles. This bold plan is likely to further solidify Hero’s presence in several fast growing categories in the years ahead.

Hero MotoCorp is in an aggressive mode to cater to the surging demand in the electric as well as ICE markets with at least 12 new products in the works for FY27. The company’s future plans reflect its innovation, sustainability and high quality mobility solutions.

Vida Electric Scooters to Lead Hero’s EV Growth

Hero MotoCorp’s future plans hinge on its scooter division, which includes the Vida electric scooter. The company is set to scale up production significantly, with plans to almost triple its electric vehicle deliveries by the end of 2026.

Electric scooters are going to play an increasingly bigger role in Hero’s business in future years, the company thinks. The electric vehicle segment is becoming increasingly important in the company’s business, as it projects that by the end of the decade electric vehicles will make up over 50% of the company’s total scooter sales.

Expanding Retail Network and Localisation Efforts

In support to the growth of the Vida brand, Hero MotoCorp is bolstering its retail and service network in multiple geographies. Familiarity and after-sales customer support are likely to be important factors in customer acceptance of EVs.

The company is also driving localisation to boost local procurement of components. The higher the local content, the lower the manufacturing costs, the more efficient the supply chain, and, the more competitive the future electric scooters will be.

Xoom and Destiny Scooters Receive Special Attention

India is becoming a popular destination for scooters as the company has started to increase the production of its Xoom range. The sporty and feature-packed Xoom style is gaining in popularity, and it is an integral component of the company’s growth strategy.

Hero is also scaling up production of the Destiny scooter range. The company is looking to grow in the two-wheeler market, which is highly competitive and has been taken over by scooters.

More Than 12 New Products Planned for FY27

The company Hero MotoCorp is reportedly working on more than 12 new models in both the electric and petrol variants. The next generation of products will feature electric scooters, motorcycles, as well as flex-fuel products targeting a wide customer base.

Some of these will be targeted at the popular 125cc-plus class which is growing in popularity. The segment has maintained its appeal for customers because of its performance, utility, and fuel economy, which have all remained strong.

Premium Motorcycle Portfolio Set to Expand

The company has already made the leap into the high dollar motorcycle market with the Mavrick 440 and its collaboration with Harley-Davidson with the X440. These products have enabled Hero to make a mark in the middle weight segment of the motorcycle market.

There are more high-spec motorcycles on the way in the years to come. The new models may be a boost for Hero to tackle the competition of its rivals successfully, as well as bring in the performance lovers as a good option.

Strong Financial Performance Supports Future Plans

Hero MotoCorp’s expansion plans are supported by good sales and positive financial results. The company sold almost 55 lakh motorcycles and over 5.7 lakh scooters in the last financial year in various markets.

The company’s profit also saw a significant improvement in the last quarter of FY26. The robust financial standing enables Hero to pursue an aggressive research and development strategy, and invest in future mobility technologies.

Rs 1,500 Crore Investment Planned for FY27

Hero MotoCorp is expected to invest Rs 1,500 crore in the year FY27 to support its ambitious growth plans. The investment will be directed into the areas of EV expansion, product development, research and development, and advanced mobility solutions.

The company is also continuing to build its international presence. Hero will strive to expand its global presence with local products that meet local customer needs and retain its position as a leader in India.

The vision of Hero MotoCorp for FY27 is a testament to its forward-looking approach in the field of mobility. The company has a number of new products in the pipeline, expanded EV operations, increasing scooter manufacturing and a robust premium motorcycle portfolio which is putting it in a position for long term growth.

With the rapid growth in the EV and high-quality two-wheeler market, Hero’s aggressive expansion could enable it to grab additional opportunities and stay one of the most influential companies in the Indian two-wheeler industry.
