On the volume front, Hero MotoCorp sold 10.25 lakh units of motorcycles and scooters in Q1 FY22, registering a

operations temporarily at all of its manufacturing facilities across the country, including its Global Parts Center (GPC)
in Neemrana and its R&D facility in Jaipur due to the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic. The company resumed
production at its manufacturing plants in India in a staggered manner from 17 May 2021.
Niranjan Gupta, CFO of Hero MotoCorp said, 'The first quarter of this fiscal has been adversely impacted by Covid-19.
Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Hero MotoCorp achieved significant growth in both earnings and
profitability compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal. The company improved its market share in
the quarter by more than 200 basis points over the full year of FY 21. The commodity costs continued to rise, thereby
impacting the industry margins. We have taken judicious and measured pricing decisions, reducing the impact on the
customers by offsetting part of the increase through the accelerated Leap-2 saving program. The company remains
optimistic about demand over the coming months with the start of the festive season and also a healthy monsoon
and encouraging farm activity. With last-mile retail opening up further, we expect numbers to be positive as we move
forward. Hero MotoCorp aims to build further on its market leadership as we continue to delight customers with
superior products and technology.
