Hero MotoCorp said it sold 13.92 lakh units of motorcycles and scooters in <keyword id="20028449" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Q4" source="keywords">Q4</keyword> FY24 as against 12.70 lakh units in Q4 FY23. Total expenses were higher at Rs 8,427.36 crore in the fourth quarter as compared to Rs 7,508.94 crore in the same period a year ago. For the fiscal ended March 31, 2024, consolidated profit after tax was at Rs 3,742.16 crore as compared to Rs 2,799.9 crore in the previous fiscal.

Hero MotoCorp said it sold 56.21 lakh units of motorcycles and scooters in FY24 as compared to 53.29 lakh units in FY23. "During the year, our focus on product launches, network upgrades and customer satisfaction drove us to new heights. From the highest number of product launches to the expansion of new format retail outlets and upgrade at super speed, to a digital-first approach in premium, we set the building blocks in place for accelerated growth in future," Hero MotoCorp Chief Executive Officer Niranjan Gupta said. On the outlook, he said, "Moving forward, we expect the macroeconomic factors to aid the industry's growth. With commodity prices remaining stable, expectations of normal monsoons, and government spending expected to increase, we see multiple tailwinds for the sector over the upcoming quarters." Gupta further said the company will be driving market share gains on the back of launches in the premium and 125 cc segment done in FY 24. The company's board has recommended a final dividend of Rs 40 per share on the face value of Rs 2 per equity share subject to approval of the shareholders at the ensuing annual general meeting, the filing added. "This dividend together with an interim and special dividend, marking the centennial year of Chairman Emeritus Dr Brijmohan Lall Munjal of Rs.100 per equity share, takes the aggregate total dividend for the year 2023-24 to Rs 140 per equity share," the company said.

"In the coming fiscal year, we have lined up a slew of product launches in different segments with an aim to strengthen our premium portfolio as well as premiumisation of existing models, which will help us deliver improvement in market share," he added. The company is also accelerating its EV rollout, with a plan to be in 100 cities within this calendar year, Gupta said. "Apart from exclusive Vida outlets in certain cities, we will be using our existing distribution system across cities to ensure wider reach. The recent price revision now makes Vida accessible to more customers, and we expect this will increase the EV transition in scooter category," he added. Gupta noted that the economic activity in India continues to build momentum with key indicators moving in the positive direction. "We do expect two-wheeler industry revenue growth to be double-digit in the coming year," he stated. Shares of the company ended 0.43% up at ₹2,514.05 apiece on the BSE. (With inputs from PTI.)

The booking window, which opened on July 4, has now been closed, and the new booking window will be announced soon, the company said in a statement. "It is heartening to see the confidence shown by the customers in Hero MotoCorp's foray into this segment. What is even more heartening is that the majority of our bookings are coming from the top end model, clearly indicating that customers are willing to pay a higher price for the right brand and right model," Hero MotoCorp CEO Niranjan Gupta said. This is just the beginning of the company's journey to win in the premium segment, he added. "More Iconic launches will follow soon, as we ensure our presence across the portfolio," Gupta noted. Hero MotoCorp said it will start production of the <keyword id="96419" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Harley-Davidson" source="Orion">Harley-Davidson</keyword> X440 in September 2023 and commence customer deliveries from October onwards.

It also has three more launches in the pipeline across segments — all which brokerages hope will pull up its market share in the two-wheeler segment. The company also launched an entry level scooter Hero Xoom scooter earlier this year. “These launches are driving higher customer footfalls and are expected to have a positive rub-off on the existing and refreshed models,” said <keyword id="4244153" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="j-m-financial" source="Orion">J M Financial</keyword>. Just one or two product successes are sufficient to drive positive brand perception about HMCL – and that will enhance its overall appeal across its product portfolio, the brokerage adds. The commentary from the dealers is also encouraging as most of them across 13 states are seeing good sales in higher double digits. The festive season too is around the corner and the new launches should only take things forward. It has already reported a 5.5% rise in total sales in August rose 5.6% to 488,717 units, as compared to a year back. Riding back into the game Hero Moto’s Passion Plus, launched in June, is a refreshed version of one of India’s best selling bikes – and two of the latest launches are the premium segment. While the Harley Davidson X440, which came out in July, will take on the likes of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/auto/webstories/hero-karizma-xmr-210-vs-bajaj-pulsar-rs200-which-bike-should-you-buy-under-2-lakh/slidelist/103241906.cms">Triumph and Royal Enfield</a>, the latest <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/auto/webstories/hero-karizma-xmr-210-vs-bajaj-pulsar-rs200-which-bike-should-you-buy-under-2-lakh/slidelist/103241906.cms">Karizma XMR</a> will take on Bajaj’s Pulsar. “Passion+ has been received well by customers and there is excitement around new premium launches. Customer enquiries for HD X440 remain high and bookings are further expected to increase with wider availability of the model in the network,” said J M Financial. More than Splendour Hero MotoCorp (HMCL) banked heavily on its biggest hit, the Splendor, which was India’s highest selling bike, for a long time. It was all well for the 39-year-old company until India started shifting towards the slightly more premium bikes being offered by Bajaj, <keyword id="94237" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="royal-enfield" source="Orion">Royal Enfield</keyword> and to an extent TVS. The inability to play in that segment (200 cc to 350/400 cc) meant that the competition vroomed ahead. “HMCL’s market share in the 125+cc motorcycle segment declined from 12% in FY13 to 3% in FY23 due to lack of premiumisation-focused new product launches,” said a report by J M Financial. Now, after taking time, and having signed a partnership with Harley Davidson, the bike maker is looking to bounce back. Hero’s launch pipeline has sporty or premium 125 110-125 cc motorcycles in the executive segment and they also plan another 125 cc scooter. All these launches will spell good news, brokerages believe. “New launches in the scooter segment, Super splendor and Passion Plus are getting good traction and HMCL is ramping up Glamour 125 for rural demand and model launches in the premium segment should help market share gains,” said a report by Prabhudas Liladher. The 2W demand pick up The two-wheeler demand itself has been muted for years now due to a muted rural market. Yet, most players have indicated that greenshoots are being seen in demand with steady government spending in rural areas due to general elections next year. As the market itself grows, HMCL with its new launches is expected to grow ahead of its peers. There is a huge replacement demand market in 2-wheelers which is expected to push sales. A few quarters back, the company was seeing replacement demand of 4-5%, and now it has reached 10%. “HMCL is seeing indication of strong demand in the rural market and is aiming to grow ahead of the industry on back of aggressive model launch cycle across categories and gain market share,” said a report by Prabhudas Liladher. It is also expanding the distribution of its EV two-wheeler Vida. It’s already present in 36 cities, and the count is expected to go to 100 by the end of the calendar year. It plans to launch new products from FY25 onwards. Even as EV sales are currently muted, the company expects to reach leadership position in this segment in the coming years — but for the medium term its ICE brands are also expected to gain speed. <div type="javascript" title="Custom" contenttype="Text"><cdata><![CDATA[]]></cdata></div>

Hero MotoCorp set to take on Bajaj and Royal Enfield with fresh launches

<ul><li>Toyota saw its sales surge by 19% while Kia India saw its sales volumes fall by 19% in June. </li><li>Maruti’s small and company car sales saw a massive slump even as SUV sales grew 2X. </li><li>Two wheeler companies saw slow sales due to slump in exports. </li></ul>Indian auto stocks are trading in the red on early Monday, as auto sales data released during the weekend failed to enthuse the markets. At the time of publishing this copy, the Nifty Auto index is trading flat while the benchmarks – Nifty50 and BSE Sensex – are half a percent in the green. India’s largest automaker Maruti Suzuki has delivered an 8% increase in sales for the month of June, as compared to last year, thanks to the improved performance of its SUV range like Brezza, Grand Vitara and Ertiga – which surged two-fold. Even as sales of its mini cars – Alto and S-Presso fell marginally, compact car sales like Swift, Celerio, and Baleno slumped by 17%. However, its overall sales are lower than Jefferies’ expectations of 1.68 lakh units in June. As per Anand Rathi, the company management expects 5-7% industry volume growth in FY24, and Maruti Suzuki volume growth in double digits. The stock fell around 0.8% in early trade. Tata Motors posted a flat sales of 1% growth in domestic sales in June. Jefferies predicted that Tata Motors will see a 4-5% YoY decline mainly led by lower LCV volumes. Commercial vehicle sales fell by 15%, even as passenger sales went up by 8%. However, Girish Wagh, executive director of Tata Motors says that they showed a month-on-month improvement. “For the month of June 2023, they were 20.2% higher than the vehicle sales registered in May 2023. Looking ahead, the promising monsoon and continuing infrastructure thrust by the government augers well for the CV industry, even as it faces the headwinds of high interest rates, fuel prices and inflation,” said Wagh. The stock too has been trading flat as it fell by 0.2% in early Monday trade. Mahindra &amp; Mahindra’s stock was trading higher by 1.6% as it presented a strong 21% growth in overall auto sales. The BSE auto index is trading down by 0.6% as of 11:44 am, with most stocks in the red. 2W sales suffer on tepid exports Bajaj Auto sales fell by 2% overall, but the fall is lower than expected as Jefferies predicted it to fall to 3.3 lakh on account of lower exports. However, the automaker withstood it to 3.40 lakh. In spite of it, the stock fell by 1.1%. TVS Motors’ sales grew 4% but the growth was lower than analyst expectations – leading to a 0.7% fall in the stock. Hero Motocorp stock also fell by over 1.7% after it reported a 9.8% fall in sales. The company however hopes sales will pick up in the coming months. “The onset of monsoon in most parts of the country and overall economic indicators bode well for a growth in demand, and industry volumes are expected to pick up leading into the upcoming festive season,” the company said in a press release. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; table-layout: fixed; width:

"Ever since the launch of Urban Cruiser Hyryder and Innova Hycross, we are witnessing continued high acceptance by our customers," said Atul Sood, VP- sales and strategic marketing of Toyota Kirloskar Motors. Kia India saw its volumes fall by 19%, but the company hopes that the launch of its new Seltos will give back its leadership position in the mid-SUV section. Honda sales however continue to slip as they slumped by a massive 35%. (With inputs from PTI)

Smooth ride for M&M in June but Bajaj and Hero Motocorp stutter

<ul><li>India’s auto sector could be looking at mixed performance in March, with some segments likely to clock better growth than others. </li><li>Passenger vehicles, one of the segments that have been driving sales in the past few months, could be looking at a flat March. </li><li>Commercial vehicles are expected to continue growing thanks to infrastructure-led demand seeing a healthy fleet utilisation in the medium to heavy commercial vehicles (MHCV) category. </li></ul>The Indian auto sector could be looking at mixed performance in March due to a combination of erratic rainfall dampening demand for light commercial vehicles (LCVs), and a moderation in demand for passenger vehicles (PVs) during the month, as observed by analysts at <keyword id="46252" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="motilal-oswal" source="Orion">Motilal Oswal</keyword>. The brokerage expects a slight uptick in demand for two-wheelers during the month on account of festivals and a low base of the previous year. However, concerns about weakness in the rural markets could drag down the overall numbers. Passenger vehicles, which were in the driver’s seat for a few months now, are expected to clock ‘flattish’ growth during March. “There has been some moderation in enquiries led by muted demand during ongoing festivals and persistent weakness in the rural market,” said the Motilal Oswal report. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Commercial vehicles to drive growth" comment="subhead" text="Commercial vehicles to drive growth">Commercial vehicles to drive growth</cmsannotation> The brokerage expects the commercial vehicle segment to drive growth in the auto sector in March. More specifically, the medium and heavy commercial vehicles segment is expected to register a 10-12% year-on-year rise in sales due to “healthy fleet utilisation driven by infra-led demand and pre-buying before OBD-2 transition.” On the other hand, the light commercial vehicle segment is expected to register a decline of 8-10%n due to erratic rainfall and subdued rural sentiments. Unseasonal rains could also weigh on tractor sales, which could decline 3-5% due to expectations of a low Rabi output. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Moderation in passenger vehicle sales: High interest rates hurt bookings" comment="subhead" text="Moderation in passenger vehicle sales: High interest rates hurt bookings">Moderation in passenger vehicle sales: High interest rates hurt bookings</cmsannotation> The entry-level segments have been hurting across the passenger vehicle and two-wheeler segments for a while now. So far, weak rural sentiments and elevated inflation were behind the weak performance of the entry-level segment, but now, analysts suggest high interest rates are also adding to the slowdown. “Moreover, rising interest rates have further hampered bookings for low-end models. Although the inventory level has increased to 25-30 days in March versus 20-25 days till February end, it has now come back to the normal level after three years,” the brokerage said. Sports utility vehicles (SUV) continue to be in demand, with waiting periods still being long. For instance, M&amp;M’s popular duo of SUVs, the Scorpio-N and XUV 700 have a waiting period of 3-10 months, and 2-5 months, respectively. The Thar, too, has a waiting period of nearly a month. <keyword id="42747" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="tata-motors" source="Orion">Tata Motors</keyword>’ Nexon, on the other hand, has a waiting period of 4-6 weeks. Despite a moderation in demand, discounts have been muted, the brokerage noted, adding that it expects M&amp;M’s sales to rise 16% year-on-year, while Tata Motors could see a modest 3% growth. Market leader <keyword id="44883" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="maruti-suzuki" source="Orion">Maruti Suzuki</keyword> is expected to report a 3% fall in dispatches. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Slight uptick in two-wheeler sales, but rural demand still weak" comment="subhead" text="Slight uptick in two-wheeler sales, but rural demand still weak">Slight uptick in two-wheeler sales, but rural demand still weak</cmsannotation> Two-wheeler sales have been struggling for a few months now and the pressure is expected to temper a bit during March, with a slight uptick resulting in a 4-6% YoY increase in retail sales, thanks to steady urban demand. However, erratic rains could dampen two-wheeler sales as well, with rural demand still remaining weak. “Overall sales are still down by 15-17% versus the pre-Covid level as rural demand remains weak,” the Motilal Oswal report added. The brokerage also witnessed a large variation in enquiries across states during festivals – while Gujarat, Delhi and Karnataka saw a 2-6% YoY increase in enquiries, UP, Bihar and Maharashtra reported a 4-8% decline. Market leader <keyword id="6357252" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="hero-motocorp" source="Orion">Hero MotoCorp</keyword> could see a 4% YoY decline in dispatches, while Bajaj Auto and <keyword id="46156" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="tvs-motor" source="Orion">TVS Motor</keyword> could see a 5% fall each. Royal Enfield, on the other hand, is expected to report yet another month of growth, with its dispatches expected to increase 10%. Overall, March could be a mixed bag for the Indian auto industry.

No festive cheer for auto cos in March: PV sales ‘flattish’, 2Ws to see a slight uptick

All the automakers have delivered growth in profitability and sales. This is reflected in the overall growth of the domestic two wheeler industry in FY23, which rose 17% on year after three years of decline. The industry clocked sales of 15.86 million units in FY23 from 13.57 million in the last fiscal year, according to Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) However, reports say that the segment is still at a nine year low. Among the three players, Bajaj Auto has reported poor performance in the March quarter although it managed to grow on a yearly basis. Bajaj Auto’s Q4 standalone net profit fell 2% on year to ₹1,433 crore. Rising input costs and shrinking exports ate into the two-wheeler maker's volumes as well as bottomline, even as the company’s topline expanded by 12% to ₹8,905 crore during the quarter. In fact, analysts believe it may continue to underperform its peers because of weak presence in the domestic market. “Even so, we believe the company would underperform peers such as Eicher Motors (12% growth in FY24E) and TVS Motors (10% growth). Bajaj Auto’s underperformance is likely to persist owing to its weak presence in scooters in the domestic market, not to mention its large exposure to overseas markets,” said a report by Nuvama Institutional Equities. Stress of rising input costs in FY23 was clearly visible – Bajaj Auto’s input costs rose by nearly 9% to ₹24,073 crore, eating into its profits.

Meanwhile, TVS Motor and Hero MotoCorp delivered strong profit and sales growth in FY23 as well as in the recent March quarter. Hero MotoCorp beat analyst <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/stocks/earnings/hero-motocorp-q4-results-pat-beats-estimates-jumps-37-yoy-to-rs-859-cr-revenue-up-12/videoshow/99989882.cms">estimates</a> to deliver a 37% YoY rise in standalone net profit to ₹859 crore in Q4, aided by price hikes, cost cutting and improved product mix. Further, the company said that in the coming fiscal year, it has lined up a slew of product launches in different segments with an aim to strengthen its premium portfolio as well as premiumisation of existing models, which will help deliver improvement in market share. On the other hand, TVS Motor outperformed the other two and registered 67% on year growth in net profit along with sharp 140 basis points expansion in operating margin as well. After posting strong March-quarter earnings, the shares of the motorcycle manufacturer hit a 52-week high at ₹1,235, up nearly 6% on Friday. The management said that it expects to outperform the industry in both domestic and export segments due to demand recovery led by the premium and electric vehicle (EV) segment. “With supply challenges now largely over, we expect TVS’ outperformance to continue on the back of the ramp-up of its launches. Even in EVs, it seems to be ahead of its listed peers with a strong product pipeline in place for the next 24 months; it has signed up with industry experts and joint venture partners to emerge as a leading player in EVs,” said a report by HDFC Securities.
