EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Hero Motocorp Ltd. formerly Hero Honda is an Indian motorcycle and scooter
manufacturer based in New Delhi, India. Hero Honda started in 1984 as a joint venture
between Hero Cycles of India and Honda of Japan. The company is the largest two
wheeler manufacturer in India. The 2006 Forbes 200 Most Respected companies list has
Hero Honda Motors ranked at 108.
In 2010, When Honda decided to move out of the joint venture, Hero Group bought the
shares held by Honda. Subsequently, in August 2011 the company was renamed Hero
MotoCorp with a new corporate identity. On 4th June 2012,Hero Motocorp approved a
proposal to merge the investment arm of its parent-Hero Investment Pvt. Ltd. into the
automaker. The decision comes after 18 months of its split from Honda Motor.
Termination of Honda joint venture
Main article: Hero Honda split
In December 2010, the Board of Directors of the Hero Honda Group have
decided to terminate the joint venture between Hero Group of India and
Honda of Japan in a phased manner. The Hero Group would buy out the 26%
stake of the Honda in JV Hero Honda. Under the joint venture Hero Group
could not export to international markets (except Sri Lanka) and the
termination would mean that Hero Group can now export. Since the
beginning, the Hero Group relied on their Japanese partner Honda for the
technology in their bikes. So there are concerns that the Hero Group might
not be able to sustain the performance of the Joint Venture alone.

Hero MotoCorp
The new brand identity and logo, Hero MotoCorp, was developed by the
London firm Wolff Olins. The logo was revealed on 9 August 2011 in London,
the day before the third test match between England and India.

Hero MotoCorp can now export to Latin America, Africa and West Asia. Hero
is free to use any vendors for its components instead of just Hondaapproved vendors.

Company performance
During the fiscal year 2008-09, the company sold 3.7 million bikes, a growth
of 12% over last year. In the same year, the company had a market share of
57% in the Indian market. Hero Honda sells more two wheelers than the
second, third and fourth placed two-wheeler companies put together. Hero
Honda's bike hero splendor pro sells more than one million units per year. On
1st June 2012, Hero MotoCorp reported its highest ever monthly sales at 5,
56,644 units in May, registering a growth of 11.28%.
According to my experience I found that overview about Hero motors.
Different types of sales promotion & techniques used to promote & increase

Company profile
Hero is the brand name used by the Munjal brothers for their flagship company Hero
Cycles Ltd. A joint venture between the Hero Group and Honda Motor Company was
established in 1984 as the Hero Honda Motors Limited at Dharuhera India. Munjal family
and Honda group both own 26% stake in the Company. In 2010, it was reported that
Honda planned to sell its stake in the venture to the Munjal family.
During the 1980s, the company introduced motorcycles that were popular in India for
their fuel economy and low cost. A popular advertising campaign based on the slogan 'Fill
it - Shut it - Forget it' that emphasized the motorcycle's fuel efficiency helped the
company grow at a double-digit pace since inception. The technology in the bikes of Hero
Honda for almost 26 years (19842010) has come from the Japanese counterpart Honda
Hero MotoCorp has three manufacturing facilities based at Dharuhera, Gurgaon in
Haryana and at Haridwar in Uttarakhand. These plants together are capable of churning
out 3 million bikes per year. Hero MotoCorp has a large sales and service network with
over 3,000 dealerships and service points across India. Hero Honda has a customer
loyalty program since 2000, called the Hero Honda Passport Program.
The company has a stated aim of achieving revenues of $10 billion and volumes of 10
million two-wheelers by 2016-17. This in conjunction with new countries where they can
now market their two-wheelers following the disengagement from Honda, Hero MotoCorp
hopes to achieve 10 per cent of their revenues from international markets, and they
expected to launch sales in Nigeria by end-2011 or early-2012. In addition, to cope with
the new demand over the coming half decade, the company was going to build their
fourth factory in South India and their fifth factory in Western India. There is no
confirmation where the factories would be built.

HERO Motor Co., Ltd. operates under the basic principles of "Respect for the Individual"
and "The Three Joys" - commonly expressed as The Joy of Buying, The Joy of Selling and
The Joy of Creating. "Respect for the Individual" reflects our desire to respect the unique
character and ability of each individual person, trusting each other as equal partners in
order to do our best in every situation. Based on this, "The Three Joys" expresses our
belief and desire that each person working in, or coming into contact with our company,
directly or through or products, should share a sense of joy through that experience. In
line with these basic principles, since its establishment in 1948, Honda has remained on
the leading edge by creating new value and providing products of the highest quality at a
