Hero Honda‘s full year sales grew 16.4 percent which helped lift the total for 2010 to a record of more than 5 million units.
“2010 has been an outstanding year for Hero Honda. For the coming year, we further intend to solidify our leadership by launching new products combined with customer-focused marketing programs,” Hero Honda Motors Sr VP (Marketing & Sales) Anil Dua said.
The company said during the October-December quarter of 2010, the company has sold 14,28,030 units, registering a 29 per cent growth over the same period in 2009.
