According to the statement issued by the largest player in the Indian two-wheeler industry, Hero Honda, the company has managed sales of around 4,35,933 units in May, registering 13.92 per cent increase over the same month last year.

Notably, this is the highest ever sales reported by the company in its history in a month's time.

In fact, the previous highest monthly sales that were recorded by the company were around 4,15,137 units that was set in August 2009. Hero Honda Motors Senior Vice-President (Marketing and Sales) Anil Dua said that the 14% growth is highly satisfying, mainly because of the fact that the base of the company was very high in the last year in the same month.

Dua also highlighted the fact that the significant contributions from all the segments have led the company to such a growth path. It may be noted here that that the end of May 2010 marks the 17th consecutive month of the market leader wherein it has crossed over three lakh unit sales in a month's time.

The company believes it will be able to continue the growth momentum even in the coming months.
