This marks a solid 12% Year-on-Year (YoY) growth compared to the 6,87,220 units dispatched during the same month last year. The strong growth momentum comes right ahead of the key festive season, backed by high consumer sentiment and robust retail traction.

The brand gained further highlight during the month as the VIDA VX2 etched its name in the Asia Book of Records, becoming the first electric scooter to successfully tow a passenger aircraft over a record distance—showcasing the torque, durability, and powertrain efficiency of the platform. Furthermore, VIDA expanded its lifestyle reach by becoming the Title Sponsor for India’s Cricket Tour of New Zealand.

To celebrate the arrival of the festive season, Hero MotoCorp rolled out a multi-artform campaign incorporating five traditional Indian folk art styles alongside a novel soundscape generated from the Hero Destini scooter.
