"Following record festive retail sales in October 2019 and lowest-ever inventory in two-years, the November 2019 despatch numbers reflect Hero MotoCorp's intent to ensure a smooth transition to BS6 norms," the company said.
In November the company said it commenced retail sales of BS6 compliant motorcycle, Splendor iSmart with fuel injection technology.
Hero MotoCorp said it has scaled up production of its BS6 vehicles, while discontinuing rolling out of several BS4 models in an effort to migrate completely to the new emission era.
It has stopped production of more than 50 variants of its BS6 range of models, while rapidly increasing the production of BS6 vehicles.
