Hero MotoCorp-Harley Davidson Partnership: Hero MotoCorp’s partnership with Harley-Davidson is another significant development in its growth strategy. The company plans to launch its first bike under this collaboration during the current fiscal year. The partnership, formed in October 2020, allows Hero MotoCorp to develop and sell a range of premium motorcycles under the iconic Harley-Davidson brand name in India.

Despite various challenges, Gupta expressed confidence in the resilience of the Indian economy, which continues to be one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world. He highlighted that key indicators are moving in the right direction, and the company expects the two-wheeler industry to achieve double-digit revenue growth this year. With a positive economic outlook and a robust product lineup, Hero MotoCorp is well-positioned to capitalize on the anticipated growth in the market.
