Hero MotoCorp likely plans to bring in new Vida electric scooters, new Xoom scooters And premium motorcycle offerings in FY27
Hero MotoCorp is preparing for an aggressive expansion phase in FY27 as the company moves its attention towards electric scooters, premium motorcycles and higher capacity two-wheelers. While commuter motorcycles still account for a significant portion of overall volumes, the country’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer is investing heavily in new segments.
A major pillar centers on the Vida electric scooter range. Hero plans to substantially increase production capacity and is targeting nearly three times higher EV output before the end of calendar year 2026. The company expects electric scooters to contribute a much larger share of overall sales over the next few years and believes EVs could account for more than 50 per cent of total scooter volumes by the end of this decade.
Vida retail and service operations are being expanded region by region while localisation efforts are being accelerated simultaneously. Higher local sourcing levels are expected to reduce costs and improve supply chain efficiency as production volumes increase. Earlier, Hero had also outlined plans to achieve nearly 90 per cent PLI coverage for its electric vehicle portfolio before FY27.

The Xoom lineup has emerged as one of the brand’s main targets and production capacity is being significantly expanded in response to higher demand. The company is also increasing output for the Destiny range as industry trends indicate that scooters are accounting for a larger share of two-wheeler sales across India and Hero is looking to capitalise on that.
Hero is preparing more than 12 new launches across electric and internal combustion engine segments including flex-fuel models. Several of these upcoming products are expected to target the premium motorcycle category and the increasingly competitive 125 cc plus space. The company already entered middleweight space through products such as the Mavrick 440 and the Harley-Davidson X440 partnership.

Additional launches are expected to consolidate the portfolio further and improve Hero’s presence in categories traditionally dominated by rivals such as Royal Enfield, Honda, Bajaj and TVS. Hero MotoCorp sold close to 55 lakh motorcycles and more than 5.7 lakh scooters in the last financial year and quarterly profit during the final quarter of FY26 saw a substantial increase too.
It is expected to allocate around Rs. 1,500 crore in FY27 towards EV expansion, research and development, future mobility solutions and product development activities. Hero has also been expanding its footprint across several international markets while bringing in products to meet local requirements.
