The Hero Splendor Plus has been the best-seller for nearly two decades now, with its reliable engine, easy-to-ride character, excellent mileage and the comfort it offers.
Hero sold 1,85,635 units of the Splendor Plus in April 2025, a whopping 38.44% decrease in its Month-On-Month (MoM) sales figures while the Year-On-Year sales too have decreased by 37.78% when compared to April 2024. We think this is a temporary fluctuation in sales as Hero had shut down its manufacturing plants last month, so the sales should be back on track in May.
