Hero MotoCorp Pauses Production At Four Plants: Should You Be Worried?
The factories will be closed from April 17 to 19 2025, but Hero is taking all the steps to not affect the supply. Here’s how:
Quick News Highlights:
-
The company states short-term supply issues and facility maintenance as the reason
-
Operations at Tirupati and Halol plants to continue as normal
-
Hero says it will not affect the demand in any way
Hero MotoCorp, India’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer, has announced a temporary pause of production at four out of six manufacturing facilities across India. The company stated that the Dharuhera (Haryana), Gurugram (Haryana), Haridwar (Uttarakhand), and Neemrana (Rajasthan) factories will remain closed for production from April 17 to 19, 2025. The decision has been taken as part of a short-term supply optimisation.
In an official statement, Hero mentioned that this planned pause will be used for maintenance work and to make improvements to the facility. The company confirmed that production at these four plants would resume from April 21, 2025 onwards. Meanwhile, its other two production facilities located in Tirupati (Andhra Pradesh) and Halol (Gujarat) will continue to operate as per usual.
Hero has assured its customers and business partners that this temporary production pause will not affect its ability to meet their product demand in both domestic and global markets. The company has also added that any deficits in production will be recovered in the following month, in May 2025. So buyers will not need to worry about any delays in purchasing their favourite Hero bike or scooter.
This announcement comes at a time when its main rival, Honda Motorcycle And Scooter India (HMSI) had almost caught up in terms of sales figures this last financial year, FY2025. Honda was just about 68,000 units behind Hero during this time period. The Jaipur-based manufacturer does not seem to be unfazed and remains optimistic. It plans to expand its product range this year, led by the launch of the Karizma 250, Xoom 160, and possibly the XPulse 421.

- Totally worth for money .Over and all Hero is a good choice for me my whole family have a Bikes of hero. They keep the basic things in mind and make a bike which I feel a a good for a rider. I would be very thankful to Hero for the bike they have made special for 160. I did a ride to Nagpur to ladakh and it was like a 160 cc bike cant do that but unfortunately I did . It was like impossible to possible. The whole credit goes to Hero how bike has been designed and the speed mileage . It feels like no problem even the off-roading also feel like I am sitting in a 4-5 Lakhs bike. Heads off to Hero again. Yes absolutely this bike is like a heaven for middle class people the style, the looks and many more totally worth for the value of the bike. I would always recommend this bike for everyone. There is no negative point first of all . And yeah I would love to express more but yeah that's all for now.Read More
- City ride with Hf deluxeI chose the HF Deluxe because it is known for reliability, low maintenance cost, and excellent fuel efficiency, which suits daily commuting needs. Being a product from Hero MotoCorp, it also gives confidence in terms of service network and resale value. The ride so far has been quite smooth and comfortable for city use. The seat is well cushioned and the suspension handles rough roads decently. Mileage is a strong point easily giving around 65 to 70 km per litre which makes it very economical. The bike is lightweight so handling is easy especially in traffic, However speed and power are limited it is not built for aggressive riding On highways it performs okay at moderate speeds 50 to 70 km per hour but feels slightly underpowered if you try to push beyond that. Yes I would definitely recommend this bike to anyone looking for a budget friendly low maintenance daily commuter especially for city rides rather than long highway touring and for office use daily updowRead More
