Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, has crossed yet another milestone by achieving the unique distinction of surpassing 25 million units of cumulative production. The benchmark has been successfully achieved in their manufacturing facility at Haridwar, in the northern Indian hill state of Uttarakhand. The manufacturing facility, commissioned in April 2008, has achieved the milestone in just over 11 years of operation – an industry record. The Haridwar facility of Hero MotoCorp is also the world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturing plant with an installed capacity to produce 9500 vehicles per day.

Speaking on the occasion, Vikram Kasbekar, Executive Director – Operations and Chief Technology Officer, Hero MotoCorp said, “This is a significant milestone for not just our Haridwar manufacturing plant, but also the entire organisation. The manufacturing practices that we follow at Hero MotoCorp have always set new benchmarks in the industry. The production of 25 million two-wheelers at our Haridwar plant in such a short period of time since its commencement of operation bears testimony to the dedication and competency of the team. We are grateful to all our valued customers, partners, investors, the state government of Uttarakhand and all other stakeholders for their continued support and faith in us.”
