Hero number-1 again! More than 5 lakh two-wheelers were sold last month on the basis of Splendor.
Hero MotoCorp has performed brilliantly in its sales in January 2026 and has registered sales of more than 5.20 lakh units in the domestic market. The company reported total domestic dispatches of 5,20,208 units, which shows a strong YoY growth of 26% as compared to 4,12,378 units in January 2025.
Total dispatch (Domestic + Exports) stood at 5,57,871 units, of which exports increased by 24% at 37,663 units. VAHAN registrations also reached 4,91,986 units, indicating strong retail demand. In this way, Hero has retained the title of number 1 in the two-wheeler market for the 25th consecutive year.
Hero again number-1
There are many major factors behind this success of the company. Firstly, its classic commuter models like the Splendor+ and HF Deluxe continue to dominate the rural and urban entry-level segments. These models remain the first choice of customers due to low maintenance cost, better fuel efficiency and wide service network.
Bumper demand for scooters
Considerable progress has also been made in the scooter segment. Scooter dispatches in January 2026 reached 61,982 units, which is much higher than 42,580 units in the same period last year. New launches like Destini 125, Xoom 125/160 and other ICE scooters gave a boost to this segment. Additionally, the company’s electric mobility brand VIDA also continued to perform well, thereby increasing its market share in the EV segment.
Exports also increased
A slight growth has been seen in export business. The company’s strong presence in key markets like Asia, Africa and Latin America and new market entries supported exports. Overall, this growth is the result of sustained demand from the post-festive season, improving rural economy, new product launches and EV transition strategy.
Hero MotoCorp has shown strong momentum so far in FY26. After 40% growth in December 2025, this January figure is a positive sign for the company. This not only strengthens leadership in the domestic market, but is also encouraging for shareholders. Overall, this achievement of Hero MotoCorp will keep it number-1 in the country and the world.
