Hero MotoCorp is looking good because more people in rural areas are buying motorcycles again. This positive feeling, along with people liking their bikes, is helping the company sell more. Motilal Oswal, an investment group, says this trend will continue throughout the rest of the year (H2FY26), with the overall motorcycle market growing by 8 to 10 percent.
Specifically, the smaller, entry-level motorcycles are selling really well. Hero is trying to get back the customers they lost in the 125cc category. They’ve introduced new versions of their Glamour and Xtreme125R bikes with safety features, and customers seem to like them. Scooters are also doing very well, with the Destiny125 helping Hero MotoCorp beat other companies in the market.
Hero MotoCorp is also making a big push into electric scooters. Their Vida VX2 scooter is getting popular, and they hope to sell 15% of all electric scooters by 2026. They’re focusing on selling these scooters to customers in other countries, which is helping their sales go up.
Experts at Motilal Oswal think Hero MotoCorp will grow steadily over the next few years. They predict a 6% annual increase in the number of bikes they sell between 2025 and 2028. This growth is expected in both regular motorcycles and scooters, as well as in electric scooters.
To value the company, they’ve used an estimate of how much money Hero MotoCorp will make. This estimate suggests the stock is worth around ₹6,782. This calculation takes into account their plans for growth, and other investments they’ve made.
