Note that Hero MotoCorp separated from Honda Motor Co. Ltd in 2011 and since then has augmented its global presence. In August 2013, the company announced plans to enter 50 markets by 2020 with a target of 20 manufacturing facilities across the globe and an overall annual turnover of Rs 600 billion.

The company aims at getting 10% of annual sales from export markets, at around 1 million units, by 2017. Further, it has set a cumulative sales target of 100 million units by 2020, having already crossed the 50 million milestone.

Moreover, on a separate note, Hero MotoCorp has inaugurated its first integrated research and development (R&D) center. The new facility boasts of a 16-kilometer-long track with 45 different surfaces spread across a 250 acre plot. In addition to this, it has a design studio, prototype manufacturing, testing and validation unit.

With the new R&D facility, the company would be able to bring better products. The facility will also help the company to save money on product developments as its plans to localize a lot of technology that it currently brings from the overseas partner at high cost.
