"During the first quarter (Apri-June) of FY'16, we continued to strengthen our market leadership through a combination of new product launches and strategic marketing initiatives. We further expanded our already wide and diverse product portfolio with two new offerings - the Xtreme Sports and Passion Pro - in this quarter; these products have witnessed a very positive response, enabling us to fortify our leadership position," said Pawan Munjal, Chairman, CEO & MD, Hero MotoCorp Ltd

"Strong demand for our products in the 125cc category has also been instrumental in driving volumes. We have lined up a slew of new launches including scooters and motorcycles as we move into the festive season. We expect the industry to move in an upward trend in the coming quarters although a lot will depend on multiple factors, including good monsoon, rural income and overall market sentiments," he added.
