The Hero XPulse 200 to launch in India by March 2019!
In the month of September, Hero MotoCorp commenced the nationwide sales of its new premium motorcycle – the Xtreme 200R. Coinciding with this, the company also launched a multimedia campaign for the Xtreme 200R, featuring India’s cricket captain Virat Kohli, across TV, Print, Outdoor and Digital platforms. "There has recently been a circular from the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) regarding increase in the personal accident cover for two-wheelers, which if implemented, is likely to increase the cost to the customer. The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) has already taken up the matter with IRDA for a review, and we are hopeful of a positive outcome," said the company in an official statement.
With the peak festival season coming up in the months of October and November, Hero is confident of setting yet another global benchmark in retail sales during the period this year. "The long term macro fundamentals of the two-wheeler industry continue to remain strong and we are optimistic of a good festival season," it added.
