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.

Splendor is a good bike for daily commuters as it delivers a good mileage and smooth performance. In one word, a buget king or mileage king. Moreover maintainance is also low, parts are easily available in market. I will recommend this bike for all the office commuter as well as for local users. Overall nice bike.Read More
I wanted an affordable bike with best mileage and this fitted best in my budget. I needed it for daily office commute and also after job I go for part time job as ola rider or blinkit delivery partner depending on my mood. Ride is normal but engine is not much reliable for daily long runs like running for blinkit or ola. Since I was running it for blinkit it, I needed to get changed half engine. It runs smoothly at around 60 but at 70 km vibrates. If you really want a mileage focused bike and your budget is tight then yes you can opt this for your daily runs. But if you can add little more money go for some any 125 cc bike. Like hero xtreme 125.Read More
I have had a very good overall experience with my bike its sport design, its performance of engine, riding comfort is really good, maintenance also come very less so overall a very good experience. The looks are very nice. I have travelled for both very less and far distance also but in both way its works awesome, also services from Hero is also awesome. Good to go.Read More
It had a great balance between power (9 BHP) and Mileage (Company Claims it to be 59 kmpl), which in comparison are greater numbers than what established rivals like the Activa 125 and Jupiter 125 to name a few. Ride comfort has been good due to the suspension being tuned appropriately. It does not feel bouncy but can run out of breath in speeds above 70 Km/L. The accelerator cable needs timely maintainance although replacing the same does come under company warranty are often them not. In terms of specifications, it is amongst the most powerful family scooters in the 125cc segment and the pickup feels more than adequate in the city. Company claims the mileage of the vehicle to be 59 Km/L and the maximum I have achieved is around 57 Km/L which is quite close. I would recommend to buy the base variant with drum brakes and a digi-analog meter as it is good value for money.Read More
