"The earnings in the second quarter of FY21 reflects a strong performance, signaling a gradual revival from the negative impact of the global pandemic," Hero MotoCorp Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Niranjan Gupta said.

The recovery in demand to pre-COVID levels, credible resumption of supply chain and logistics, cost and cash management, along with judicious price increase, have helped deliver profitability, he added.

"The challenging economic environment is headed for a recovery on the back of various initiatives by the government, especially those directed towards rural and semi-urban regions of the country," Gupta noted.

Based on early estimates, the company expects the momentum to continue into the festive season which has started well for it, he added.

To further drive the festive cheer, the company has launched four new variants across motorcycle and scooter segments, Gupta said.

"We have registered significant gains in market share in the second quarter across products and geographies and expect to maintain the lead through our well positioned product portfolio," he added.
