Hero isn’t the only manufacturer to increase prices over the past couple of months. Pretty much every other brand including Bajaj, TVS, Honda and Suzuki have increased prices of their products. We believe the constant price hikes are a result of the BS6 transition and ever-increasing material costs. It should also help two-wheeler manufacturers bounce back from the low sales volume in the past year or so, especially in the last couple of months.
On a slightly different note, Hero is yet to announce the prices of the XPulse 200T and Xtreme 200S which are expected to be launched soon.
