"Riding on the power of its inherent resilience, modern technology and innovation, Hero MotoCorp has been expanding its global footprint across continents with new markets and state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities. With the commencement of construction of our new manufacturing plant at Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh, we are bringing the same global benchmark of sustainable eco-friendly green manufacturing to the state," said Pawan Munjal, Chairman, Managing Director and CEO, Hero MotoCorp.

"I am personally very glad that Hero MotoCorp - the world's largest two-wheeler company is setting-up a manufacturing facility in our state - the Company's first such manufacturing unit in southern India. People of our state are going to benefit immensely from this venture, as Hero will bring world-class manufacturing practices, new modern technology and global systems and processes in Andhra Pradesh. This yet again establishes Andhra Pradesh as the preferred investment destination in the country for large corporates," N. Chandrababu Naidu, Honorable Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.
