Hero MotoCorp Share Price in Focus; Pauses Production at 4 Plants for Supply Alignment

Hero MotoCorp’s share price is trading at ₹3,723.80, marking a decline of ₹58.10 or 1.54% at 11:55 AM on the NSE from its previous close. The stock opened at ₹3,781.90, reached a high of ₹3,782.00, and a low of ₹3,664.30 during the trading session.

Hero MotoCorp, the largest two-wheeler manufacturer in India, announced a temporary halt in production at four of its manufacturing plants. From April 17 to April 19, 2025, operations will be paused at its plants located in Dharuhera, Gurugram, Haridwar, and Neemrana.

Why is Hero MotoCorp Pausing Production?

The purpose behind this temporary production shutdown is to streamline supply alignment and ensure smooth operations moving forward. The company has taken this opportunity to conduct vital maintenance work, which will help improve the overall efficiency of its production facilities.

Despite the short-term break at these four plants, Hero MotoCorp assures that the production at its Tirupati and Halol plants will continue as usual.

The suspension of production will not hinder the company’s ability to fulfill both domestic and international retail demands. Any delayed production during this period will be efficiently recovered in the subsequent month.

Impact on Production Capacity

Hero MotoCorp, which retained its leadership position in the domestic two-wheeler market last year by selling over 54 lakh units, has an impressive combined annual production capacity of around 9 million units.

This short pause in production is seen as a strategic move to optimise supply chain operations and facility management, ultimately strengthening the company’s manufacturing capabilities.

What Does This Mean for Hero MotoCorp’s Retail Demand?

Despite the temporary shutdown at four plants, Hero MotoCorp is confident that it will not face any challenges in meeting customer demands, both in the domestic market and overseas.

The company has emphasised that the planned maintenance and operational enhancements will further contribute to maintaining its strong market position and enhancing product availability.

Hero MotoCorp continues to be a dominant player in the two-wheeler industry and is committed to ensuring its manufacturing facilities are operating at peak performance to meet both current and future demand.
