Hero started off the second quarter of FY2022 with the launch of the Hero Glamour Xtec and the Hero Maestro Edge 125. Hero says that most of the retail touch-points are now operational, even with sporadic lockdowns in few parts of the country. Hero believes that the rural and semi-urban market is likely to bounce back on the hope of a good monsoon and the preference for personal mobility as the pandemic still exists. The company remains optimistic about continuously improving customer sentiment in the coming months with the onset of the festive season.
