Hero MotoCorp is the World's single largest twowheeler motorcycle company.

Honda Motor
Company of Japan and the Hero Group entered a joint venture to setup Hero Honda Motors
Limited in 1984. The joint venture between India's Hero Group and Honda Motor Company,
Japan has not only created the world's single largest two wheeler company but also one of the
most successful joint ventures worldwide.
During the 80s, Hero Honda became the first company in India to prove that it was possible to
drive a vehicle without polluting the roads. The company introduced new generation motorcycles
that set industry benchmarks for fuel thrift and low emission. A legendary 'Fill it Shut it
Forget it' campaign captured the imagination of commuters across India, and Hero Honda sold
millions of bikes purely on the commitment of increased mileage.
Over 20 million Hero Honda two wheelers tread Indian roads today. These are almost as many as
the number of people in Finland, Ireland and Sweden put together. Hero Honda has consistently
grown at double digits since inception; and today, every second motorcycle sold in the country is
a Hero Honda. Every 30 seconds, someone in India buys Hero Honda's top selling motorcycle
Splendor. This festive season, the company sold half a million two wheelers in a single month?a
feat unparalleled in global automotive history.
Hero Honda became the first company in the country to introduce fourstroke motorcycles and
set the standards for fuel efficiency, pollution control and quality. It has an excellent distribution
and service network spread throughout the country.
Hero Honda bikes currently roll out from its three globally benchmarked manufacturing
facilities. Two of these are based at Dharuhera and Gurgaon in Haryana and the third state of the
art manufacturing facility was inaugurated at Haridwar, Uttrakhand in April this year. These
plants together are capable of producing out 4.4 million units per year.
Having reached an unassailable pole position in the Indian two wheeler market, Hero Honda is
constantly working towards consolidating its position in the market place. The company believes
that changing demographic profile of India, increasing urbanization and the empowerment of
rural India will add millions of new families to the economic mainstream. This would provide
the growth ballast that would sustain Hero Honda in the years to come. As Brijmohan Lall
Munjal, the Chairman, Hero Honda Motors succinctly points out, 'We pioneered India's
motorcycle industry, and it's our responsibility now to take the industry to the next level. We'll do
all it takes to reach there.''
