Leading manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters - Hero MotoCorp has announced that the company sold more than one lakh units of motorcycles and scooters in retail sales in a single day on August 9th, coinciding with the tenth anniversary of the company.
According to the two-wheeler maker, this retail sale, which included domestic and global markets, is a record number of actual sales to customers in a non-festive period.
