Hero MotoCorp delivered an impressive performance in February 2026, reinforcing its stronghold in the Indian two-wheeler market. The company recorded total domestic sales of 5,14,879 units, marking a significant 44.56% year-on-year growth compared to 3,56,165 units sold in February 2025.
This growth was largely driven by Hero’s trusted commuter motorcycles, especially Splendor, along with rising demand in scooters and electric vehicles.
Overall Sales Performance
Hero MotoCorp’s February 2026 sales reflect a healthy recovery and growing consumer demand across segments. The company continues to benefit from its deep rural and urban reach, affordable pricing, and reliable product lineup.
While commuter motorcycles remained the primary growth driver, the increasing contribution from EVs and scooters shows that Hero is successfully adapting to changing market trends.
Commuter Bikes: The Backbone of Growth
The commuter segment continues to be the biggest strength of Hero MotoCorp. Models like Splendor and HF Deluxe dominate this space and contribute the majority of total sales.
- Splendor remained the top-selling model with 3,21,952 units, registering a massive 54.96% YoY growth
- HF Deluxe followed with 71,717 units, showing steady growth of 1.61%
Together, these two motorcycles alone account for a major share of Hero’s domestic volume, highlighting their unmatched popularity among daily commuters.
Strong Performers Across Segments
Apart from commuter bikes, several other models delivered excellent growth, indicating balanced demand across categories.
- Glamour recorded one of the highest growth rates at 202.68% YoY, reaching 22,677 units
- Destini 125 scooter saw strong traction with 27,369 units, up 89.47% YoY
- Passion continued its steady rise with 20,041 units (28.48% growth)
- Xtreme 125R contributed 18,481 units, growing 14.24% YoY
These numbers show that Hero is not just dependent on commuter bikes but is also gaining ground in executive and mid-range segments.
Electric Vehicles: Rapid Growth in Urban Markets
Hero’s electric mobility brand Vida is emerging as a strong growth pillar. The company sold 14,320 electric scooters in February 2026, registering an impressive 133% YoY growth.
This surge clearly reflects the increasing adoption of electric vehicles, especially in urban areas where customers are looking for eco-friendly and cost-effective mobility solutions.
Scooter Segment: Mixed Performance
The scooter segment showed a mixed trend, with some models performing exceptionally well while others declined.
- Destini 125 and Xoom 125 witnessed strong demand
- Xoom 125 grew sharply by 129.77% YoY to 4,168 units
- Xoom 160, a newly introduced model, contributed 774 units in its initial phase
However, not all scooters performed well.
- Pleasure saw a decline of 39.55% YoY, dropping to 7,046 units
This indicates shifting customer preferences within the scooter category.
Premium & Lifestyle Segment
Hero MotoCorp is gradually expanding its presence in the premium and lifestyle motorcycle segment.
- Xpulse recorded 3,602 units, growing 112.13% YoY, showing rising interest in adventure bikes
However, higher-capacity motorcycles struggled to gain traction:
- Xtreme 250R: 203 units
- Karizma 210: 13 units
- Mavrick 440: 0 units (down from 52 units last year)
This suggests that while Hero is entering the premium space, volumes are still limited compared to commuter segments.
