Hero MotoCorp reports 23% rise in second quarter net profit to Rs 1,309 crore on strong sales
Hero MotoCorp reported a 23% year-on-year increase in its consolidated net profit, reaching Rs 1,309 crore for the second quarter of the financial year ended September 30, 2025. The growth is attributed to strong sales performance. In the same period last year, the two-wheeler giant posted a net profit of Rs 1,064 crore.
Operating revenue for the quarter increased significantly to Rs 12,218 crore from Rs 10,483 crore in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal. The sales volume saw a notable increase, with 16.91 lakh units sold in Q2FY26, compared to 15.2 lakh units a year ago.
The company also announced that its board of directors has approved an additional investment of up to Rs 170 crore to set up the Global Parts Center 2.0 in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. The center is expected to begin commercial operations in fiscal year 2027-2028.
Hero MotoCorp CFO Vivek Anand attributed the company’s strong performance to the simplification of India’s indirect tax structure through GST reforms. This has boosted consumer confidence and contributed to the overall strong market performance of the automotive industry.
Anand added that the industry witnessed broad-based growth in Q2FY26, further supported by positive festive sentiment. The company’s growth has been supported by new product launches, an expanding product portfolio and customer-focused marketing campaigns.
The company’s emerging mobility business, ‘VIDA’, outperformed industry growth and contributed positively to overall performance. Additionally, Hero MotoCorp has exceeded market expectations in its global operations.
Looking ahead, Hero MotoCorp expects the growth momentum to continue, supported by continued benefits from GST reforms, favorable macroeconomic factors and a robust product portfolio. The Company remains committed to long-term growth and plans to continue to strategically invest in technology, global markets and product innovation to create sustainable value for its shareholders.
