Hero MotoCorp Ltd. (HMCL), the world's largest two-wheeler manufacturer, further consolidated its leadership position with yet another six lakh-plus monthly sales in 2016. Sustaining the momentum it has built up over the past few months with its highest ever quarter sales in Q1 FY '17, Hero MotoCorp sold 616,424 units of two-wheelers in August 2016 - a growth of 28 percent over the corresponding month last year when the company had sold 480,537 units.
This is the third time this year that the company has surpassed the six lakh sales mark.
