Introduction 
Hero Motocorp Ltd., formerly Hero Honda, is an Indian motorcycle and scooter manufacturer based in New 
Delhi, India. The company is the largest two wheeler manufacturer in the world. In India, it has a 
market share of about 46% share in 2-wheeler category. The 2006 Forbes 200 Most Respected companies 
list has Hero Honda Motors ranked at #108. On 31 March 2013, the market capitalization of the company 
was INR 308 billion (USD 5.66 billion). 
Hero Honda started in 1984 as a joint venture between Hero Cycle of India and Honda of Japan. In 2010, 
when Honda decided to move out of the joint venture, Hero Group bought the shares held by Honda. 
Subsequently, in August 2011 the company was renamed Hero MotoCorp with a new corporate identity. 
In June 2012, Hero motocorp approved a proposal to merge the investment arm of its parent Hero 
Investment Pvt. Ltd. into the automaker. The decision comes after 18 months of its split from Honda 
Motors. 
Most companies today face rising/growing expectations about their environmental performance from a 
variety of stakeholders. A growing number of companies realize that to achieve their environmental goals 
and satisfy stake-holders expectations, they need to look beyond their own facilities and to involve their 
suppliers/vendors in environmental initiatives. Leading companies also understand that customers do not 
always differentiate between a company and its suppliers and hold companies accountable for supplier’s 
environmental and labor practices. In addition many companies are working to streamline their supply 
base and develop more cooperative, long-term relationships with key suppliers, a practice that has 
fostered greater opportunities to work together on environmental issues. 
The concept of the green supply/vendor chain management is to consistently meet specifies 
environmental performance criteria among the participants of the supply chain and also approach more 
consistent corporate environmental behavior among all players in the chain of products and services. 
Additional objective is to help the suppliers recognize the importance of environmental issues and support 
them in their own programs for improvements. 
About:- 
“Hero” is the brand name used by the Munjal brothers for their flagship company, Hero Cycles Ltd. A joint 
venture between the Hero Group and Honda Motor Company was established in 1984 as the Hero Honda 
Motors Limited at Dharuhera, India. Munjal family and Honda group both owned 26% stake in the 
Company. 
During the 1980s, the company introduced motorcycles that were popular in India for their fuel economy 
and low cost. A popular advertising campaign based on the slogan 'Fill it – Shut it – Forget it' that 
emphasized the motorcycle's fuel efficiency helped the company grow at a double-digit pace since inception. 
In 2001, the company became the largest two-wheeler manufacturing company in India and globally.[2] It
maintains global industry leadership till date.[2] The technology in the bikes of Hero Motocorp (earlier Hero 
Honda) for almost 26 years (1984–2010) has come from the Japanese counterpart Honda.

BRIJ MOHAN LAL MUNJAL

Two-Wheelers Motercycle Scooter Moped 
Momentum of a Frontrunner 
Headquartered in India, Hero MotoCorp is the world’s largest manufacturer of two-wheelers. 
In 2001, the Company achieved the coveted position of being the largest two-wheeler 
manufacturing company in India and globally. It maintains global industry 
leadership till date. 
Operational Performance 
In 2012-13, Hero MotoCorp sold 6.07 million units compared to 6.23 million units in the previous year. This 
was on account of poor rains, firm interest rates, high fuel prices and heightened caution on the part of 
customers across the two-wheeler industry. In the dominant motorcycle segment, Hero MotoCorp with 
sales of 5.5 million units, continued to lead the domestic market with 46% market share. This, however, 
was marginally lower than the 48.4% market share in 2011-12. Sales in the domestic motorcycle market 
remained flat at 10.08 million units, compared to 10.07 million units in the previous year. In the Indian 
market, Hero MotoCorp captured 53.2% market share, with sales of 5.3 million units. Despite the
slowdown, the Company sold more than the second, third and fourth placed motorcycle manufacturers in 
India taken together during the year. 
Exports 
Hero MotoCorp, with sales of over 1,36,000 units, accounted for 7.3% of motorcycle exports from India. 
Hero Motocorp’s International Focus 
During 2012-13, the Company exported 1, 61,043 units as compared to 1, 65,925 units the previous year 
resulting in a decline of 2.94%. Moreover, the Company exported spare parts worth ` 38.38 crores 
depicting a growth of 16% over the previous year. The growth came as a result of distributor realignments 
in existing markets, launches across Sri Lanka and Nepal, increased promotional activities in Bangladesh 
and a stronger focus on the Columbian market. In 2012-13, the Company prepared the template for an 
ambitious international foray covering the countries of Africa, Latin America and Central America. At the 
time of writing the Report, Hero MotoCorp’s first consignments to new international markets across these 
geographies had been well received.

For 2012-13, The Board Has Recommended a Dividend of 3000% Compared to 2250% Declared in the 
previous year and has maintained a Payout Ratio of 66.2% VIS-À-VIS 43.9% in the previous year. 
SALES 
The Company registered total sales of 6.07 million units during 2012-13, recording a 2.6% decline. In value 
terms total sales (net of excise duty) increased by 0.9% to Rs. 23,583 crores from Rs. 23,368 crores 
recorded in the previous fiscal year.
PROFIABILITY 
The Company’s earnings before interest, depreciation and taxes (EBITDA) margins decreased from 15.35% 
in 2011-12 to 13.82% in 2012-13. Operating margins fell from 10.69% to 9.02% on account of higher input 
costs and amortization. Operating profit (PBT before other income) decreased from Rs. 2,521 crores in 
2011-12 to Rs.2,143 crores in 2012-13. Decline in sales caused the margins to fall. 
OTHER INCOME (INCLUDING OTHER OPERATING REVENUE) 
Other income increased by 1.42% from Rs.576 crores in 2011-12 to Rs.584 crores in 2012-13. 
CASH FLOWS 
During the year, the free cash flow from operations stood at Rs. 1,890 crores (previous year Rs . 2,360 
crores). These cash flows were deployed in capital assets, investments and also paid out as dividend during 
the year. 
RAW MATERIAL COSTS 
During the year, metal prices were volatile, particularly for steel, copper, aluminum and nickel. However, 
raw material costs as a proportion of sales declined from 73.95% to 73.77%. 
CURRENT ASSETS TURNOVER 
The Company’s current asset turnover, indicating sales as a proportion of average current assets (excluding 
investments), decreased from 18.3% to 13.5%. This was primarily due to higher average inventory, trade 
receivables and loans & advances. 
DEBT STRUCTURE 
Hero MotoCorp is debt-free for the past 12 years and incurs no borrowing costs. Finance cost includes 
interest on account of advances from dealers and other transactional costs. 
DIVIDEND POLICY 
Over the years, the Company has consistently followed a policy of paying high dividends, keeping in mind 
the cash-generating capacities, the expected capital needs of business and strategic considerations. For 
2012-13, the Board recommended a dividend of 3000% compared to 2250% declared in previous year and 
has maintained a payout ratio of 66.2% vis-a-vis 43.9% in the previous year. 
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 
The Company has always sought to efficiently use the various components of working capital cycle. It has 
also effectively controlled the receivables and inventories, enabling it to operate on a negative working 
capital. 
Evolving a risk-focused Strategy
At Hero MotoCorp, a risk focused strategy is the result of identifying, 
assessing and evaluating risks and taking proactive measures to 
address those risks. 
CURRENCY DEPRECIATION 
A flight of safety to the US dollar and India’s ballooning current account deficit resulted in the Indian rupee 
depreciating significantly of its value in a year. If the rupee further continues its downfall, costs of imported 
spares, technology royalties, raw materials and capital goods can significantly shoot up, impacting the 
Company’s bottom line. 
INFLATION 
Inflation is finally moderating after a two- year hiatus, but the plunging Indian rupee and uncertainty in 
crude oil prices have the capability to dampen sentiments. An uptick in inflation during 2013-14 can stall or 
pause the process of monetary easing, thereby impacting consumer sentiment. 
INTEREST RATES 
The Company has not been significantly affected by the higher interest rate scenario owing to a strong 
balance sheet and healthy cash flows. However, in the event of significant expansions being planned by the 
Company, rising interest rates can increase the cost of capital and also impact the operations of crucial 
vendors. To counter this challenge, the Company is pursuing an aggressive policy of multiple sourcing. 
GLOBAL UNCERTAINTY 
With the Company having firm plans to increase its footprint in Latin America and Africa, it will become 
more susceptible to country-specific as well as region-specific geo-political events. Considering this, the 
Company is chalking out an overseas entry strategy, post careful consideration of local dynami cs. 
COMPETITION 
The Company has completed its first full year of operations, post its new brand identity. However, the level 
and intensity of competition from Hero MotoCorp’s erstwhile partner is expected to shoot up by many 
notches. Product launches pitted against Hero MotoCorp’s strongest brands can exert some pressure on 
market share, but the Company is adequately prepared to defend and consolidate its strong turf. 
R&D 
To enable the Company to succeed in an altered landscape, the R&D function is being s et up afresh with a 
strong focus on technology sourcing and new product development. New alliances and technology tie-ups 
were finalized during the year under review, but it will take a while before the Company is ready with a 
solid portfolio of its own products.
PHILOSOPHY ON ‘CODE OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE’ 
The Company’s philosophy of Corporate Governance stems from a belief that the Company’s business 
strategy and plans should be consistent with the welfare of all its stakeholders, including shareholders. 
Good Corporate Governance practices enable a Company to attract financial and human capital. In turn, 
these resources are leveraged to maximize long-term shareholder value, while preserving the interests of 
multiple stakeholders, including the society at large. 
Corporate Governance rests upon the four pillars of: transparency, full disclosure, independent monitoring 
and fairness to all, especially to minority shareholders. The Company has always strived to promote Good 
Governance practices, which ensure that: 
A competent management team is at the helm of affairs; 
The Board is strong with an optimum combination of Executive and Non-Executive (including Independent) 
Directors, who represent the interest of all stakeholders; 
The Board is effective in monitoring and controlling the Company’s affairs; 
The Board is concerned about the Company’s shareholders; and 
The Management and Employees have a stable environment. 
We believe that the essence of Corporate Governance lies in the phrase “Your Company”. It is “Your” 
Company because it belongs to “you” – the shareholders. The Chairman and Directors are “Your” 
fiduciaries and trustees. Their objective is to take the business forward to maximize “Your” long -term 
value. 
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has specified certain mandatory governance practices, 
which are incorporated in Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement of Stock Exchange. 
The Company is committed to benchmark itself with the best standards of Corporate Governance, not only 
in form but also in spirit. This section, along with the section on ‘Management Discussion & Analysis’ and

Hero MotoCorp picks up 49.2% stake in US-based Erik Buell racing for 
$25 million 
NEW DELHI: Cometh the hour, cometh the man! The Pawan Munjal that the media in the Capital 
got to meet on Monday morning was a different man - not the usually reticent, suit-attired, 
guarded personality. This time, the chief of the world's largest two-wheeler manufacturer, by 
volume was oozing confidence with his shirt sleeves rolled-up, and aggressive body language, which 
easily conveyed that he was ready to take on the competition. 
While announcing Hero MotoCorp's first-ever equity purchase in an overseas company - a 49.2% stake for 
US$25 million in its US-based technology partner Erik Buell Racing (EBR) - Munjal also outlined a slew of 
aggressive plans that he has already initiated - the imminent foray into Africa with assembly lines, spreading 
operations in more countries in Latin America, multiple product launches leading up to the festive season, 
and a big splash in the coming Auto Expo in Delhi in February 2014. 
The big news of the day was the equity purchase by Hero in EBR. ET on February 27, 2012 was the first to 
report the likelihood of Hero picking up stake in American bike company.The company on Monday 
announced that the first tranche of $15 million has already been invested by HMCL, while the second 
tranche of $10 million will be invested within the next nine months. 
The investment in EBR is being done through Hero MotoCorp's newly-incorporated wholly-owned 
American subsidiary - HMCL (NA). Hero MotoCorp will now have representations on the EBR board with 
two directors and one observer. However, there will be no organizational changes at EBR, and Erik Buell 
will continue to be its Chairman and CEO. 
This time, Pawan was candid enough to say that he is definitely looking at both organic as well as inorganic 
options for growth. In an exclusive interview to ET immediately after making the announcement, he said 
"Yes, definitely, I am always looking out (for further overseas acquisitions)...I am constantly travelling 
around the globe, keeping my mind open. If a good opportunity comes our way, I will certainly look at it."
"In terms of expanding our global footprint, we are going to commence our operations in Africa - with 
launches in Kenya, Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso - very soon. We will also shortly be launching in Peru and 
Ecuador in Latin America. This will be in addition to Colombia where we already have our presence," he 
said. 
Hero is looking at setting up assembly in Africa and Latin America. "The assembly in Colombia would 
possibly come up sometime by the middle of next year," Munjal said. 
On new launches, he said that the first of the new launches - variants and refreshes on existing platforms - 
will be launched around the festive season this year, although 'the completely new model will come up in 
calendar year 2014'. 
"Wait till Auto Expo next year in Delhi, you will see a lot of new stuff from us," said Munjal. 
"The equity partnership with EBR is reflective of our long-term vision of transforming Hero MotoCorp to a 
truly global two-wheeler major with footprints spread across continents, offering a wide range of 
technologically-advanced two-wheelers. As we go on spreading our footprint in new international markets, 
we will look at having extended centers of our own R&D at multiple locations around the world, developing 
two-wheelers for our global customers. Our fully-owned new overseas subsidiaries such as the one in the US 
and in Netherlands will play important roles in our future overseas acquisitions and investments," he added. 
Hero Honda Motors, Ltd. 
In this interview, Brijmohan Lall, chairman of motorcycle manufacturer Hero Honda Motors, Ltd., 
and his son, Pawan Munjal, the company's managing director and CEO, speak about the part 
innovation has played in the company's rise to the top. 
Innovation Helps Hero Honda Ride to No. 1 Spot 
A question for motorcycle fans around the world: Where is largest manufacturer of motorcycles 
located? Japan? Germany? Italy? The answer is India, where Hero Honda Motors became the 
largest single-entity manufacturer of two-wheelers in 2001, shipping 1.4 million motorcycles -- 
seizing a dominant 48-percent share of the domestic market in the process. In 2002 it plans to 
increase shipments further to 1.8 million. 
The New Delhi-based company is a joint venture between India's Hero Group and Japan's giant 
Honda Motor Company. Established in 1984, it came about when Honda chose Hero Cycles as its 
partner to set up a motorcycle operation in India after the Indian government relaxed foreign 
investment and import regulations on two-wheel motorized technology up to 100 cc. Hero Cycles 
was then, and still is, the world's largest maker of bicycles, selling over 5 million cycles annually. 
Another Hero company, Hero Majestic, had also established a moped manufacturing business. 
This combination of mass-production know-how and a large distribution network proved crucial to 
Honda's decision to join Hero, despite being ardently courted by a number of other Indian 
manufacturers. 
"Honda saw that we had similar business philosophies," says Brijmohan Lall, chairman and 
founder of the Hero Group of companies. "We were careful with capital investment, and made 
efficient use of equipment and manpower. Honda also saw how we had created a strong
relationship with the entire stakeholder community, whether it was with our employees, our dealers 
or our customers. So it all clicked." 
From the beginning, Brijmohan Lall made the bold decision to bet on four-stroke motorcycle 
technology, when two-stroke scooters were by far the most popular form of transport in India at the 
time. After talking with potential customers around the country, Hero engineers worked with Honda 
to come up with a design for an extremely fuel-efficient two-wheeler adapted for the Indian 
environment. In 1985 Hero launched its first motorcycle, the CD100, which gave 80 km to the liter. 
"The four-stroke engine is more fuel efficient and cleaner," says Brijmohan Lall. "There was 
nothing like the CD100 being built in India. Scooters were not getting more than 40 km to the liter. 
So this was a breakthrough product, and we rode on its success in the early years." 
Hero has since fine-tuned its process for finding out just what a diversified customer base across 
the length and breadth of India wants. It does this by regularly conducting vast market surveys that 
question up to 70,000 people at a time. What comes back are specific customer requirements and 
preferences. These are then translated by Hero's marketing and R&D teams into basic 
specifications, which are sent on to Honda's R&D group in Japan. Honda comes up with a 
prototype design, and Hero takes this back into the market to sound out customers for possible 
further refinement, until a winning design is eventually arrived at for Hero to build. 
Reaching Out With Mobile Workshops 
Given the country's one billion population and large area, it is impractical for Hero to establish 
sales and maintenance outlets in every town. So it's come up with the fresh idea of mobile service 
workshops: a complete workshop incorporated into trucks that travel predetermined routes, visiting 
small towns and villages where existing Hero customers reside. 
"Customers are informed a workshop will be coming, so that they don't have to travel hundreds of 
kilometers to an authorized workshop for servicing or repairs," explains Pawan Munjal, who, as 
managing director and CEO of Hero Honda, has taken over the daily running of the company from 
his father. 
These mobile workshops also double as sales outlets and spare-part distributors. The concept has 
been so successful that some of Hero's largest distributors have adopted the idea and send out 
their own workshops to supplement Hero's efforts. 
At the same time Hero has brought innovation into its authorized dealerships. To reduce the 
amount of manual labor involved in repairs and maintenance, it has introduced pneumatic tools to 
replace hand tools, while hydraulic ramps now position bikes for easy inspection. It has also 
installed automatic ventilation systems in repair shops to remove engine exhaust fumes. 
It doesn't stop there. Customers can wait in air-conditioned waiting rooms where TVs and water 
coolers have been installed, while in a few key dealerships, they can enjoy a cup of tea and surf 
the Internet in Hero cyber cafes. What's more, in certain larger dealerships, customers can 
actually watch ongoing repairs through glass-fronted workshops. "This gives customers more 
confidence in our service and support," says Pawan Munjal. "Normally, workshops are dirty areas 
and companies don't want their customers to see them. We've installed glass walls so customers
can see the cleanliness and the type of work that's going on." 
Passport to Customer Loyalty 
Last April Hero launched the Hero Honda Passport, a program designed to increase customer 
loyalty. Customers who sign up are issued "passports," and they receive points when purchasing 
parts or referring new customers. "This helps us in getting to know our customers better," says 
Pawan Munjal. "We have 600,000 members in the program, and we also organize events where 
they can meet sports stars and film stars. This creates loyalty in our customers." 
But to create loyal customers, a company must first have loyal employees. "Fortunately, Honda 
has a good name, Hero has a good name, so we attract very good people," says Brijmohan Lall, 
who at 79, still continues to put in a full day's work as chairman. "With our long experience we 
have created a friendly atmosphere. My door is never closed, so anyone can walk in at any time." 
As a reward for becoming the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer, the Munjals took the 
managers (along with their wives) who had contributed most to this success on a vacation to 
Switzerland last year. "We conducted a seminar on top of a Swiss mountain to symbolize our 
success," says Brijmohan Lall. "We also invited a professor from Harvard University to come and 
give us a talk on how we must now compete and sustain ourselves at this new level." 
Hero Honda's IT Strategy 
With the Indian motorcycle market opening up to overseas competitors and more fierce domestic 
competition, Hero Honda decided it needed to overhaul its various computer systems and create a 
single integrated IT system. Rather than continue to use computers merely for data processing, it 
sought to use IT to integrate business operations such as product planning, materials resource 
planning, financials and sales and distribution. It was also looking to automate its internal supply 
chain, reduce overall costs, and create a transparent information system that would help 
managers make decisions more quickly. To do all this it teamed up with SAP in June 2000 to 
implement the system, and went live in February 2001. 
"Now we can look at the same information, when earlier we had three or four different versions, 
which didn't always match," says Pawan Munjal. "Now we (the managers) can all look at the same 
costs, for example, because all the information is up there on the screen. Nothing is hidden, 
everything is transparent. So there are no arguments over figures now, which used to waste time 
and hold up decision-making." 
There are improvements on the factory floor too, now that manufacturing has been brought into 
the new IT system. In the past there was no accurate way of checking the consumption of raw 
materials and inventory in general. So excess stocks in some areas became inevitability. "Now we 
know what should be there and what is there," says Pawan Munjal. At the same time, defective 
parts and materials are no longer accepted, forcing suppliers to upgrade their quality. 
"The next step is to get dealers and suppliers online, so that orders can be taken directly by the 
suppliers," says Pawan Munjal. This will eliminate any wastage that is still left in our supply chain."
In upcoming issues of the SAP 30th Anniversary Leadership Interview series, we learn how 
experience, innovation and vision are driving other major Asian corporations to be leaders in their 
fields. 
Hero goes global; to unveil new brand identity in London 
New Delhi: Hero Honda Motors Ltd will reveal its new brand identity on 9 August—on the eve of 
third cricket test match between India and England—in London, according to two persons familiar 
with the development who requested anonymity.“It is a global launch and a first such step 
taken by the company to become global,” one of them said. 
“If you are following the ongoing India-England test series, they have already started giving 
teasers to what is going to come,” said the second person. The company’s promotions on 
hoardings at Lord’s stadium in London read: A new Hero will rise. 
London-based branding firm Wolff Olins has created Hero Honda’s new identity after India’s 
largest motorcycle maker split from its Japanese partner Honda Motor Co. Ltd in December. It will 
be renamed HeroMoto Corp. Ltd shortly. 
The Hero group, which sells the Splendor, Passion and Karizma bikes, has said it will evolve its 
own brand after the split with Honda and enter markets such as Latin America, Africa and West 
Asia with a new logo. The company will unveil its new branding strategy by the end of July or early 
August, Mint reported in March.Hero can use the Honda brand till 2014, according to an 
agreement between the two erstwhile partners, but the Indian group wants to a new identity soon 
to maintain pole position. 
The new identity will not only help Hero group venture overseas but will also allow it to source 
components from alternative vendors, say analysts. 
“As long as the name of Honda exists on the product, component sourcing can be done from the 
approved vendor list. Once the re-branding under Hero name happens, Hero honda will be free to 
scout for alternative vendors, if there is need,” Chirag Shah, a sector analyst with Mumbai-based 
brokerage Emkay Research, wrote in an 8 April report on Hero Honda.

  • 3. Introduction Hero Motocorp Ltd., formerly Hero Honda, is an Indian motorcycle and scooter manufacturer based in New Delhi, India. The company is the largest two wheeler manufacturer in the world. In India, it has a market share of about 46% share in 2-wheeler category. The 2006 Forbes 200 Most Respected companies list has Hero Honda Motors ranked at #108. On 31 March 2013, the market capitalization of the company was INR 308 billion (USD 5.66 billion). Hero Honda started in 1984 as a joint venture between Hero Cycle of India and Honda of Japan. In 2010, when Honda decided to move out of the joint venture, Hero Group bought the shares held by Honda. Subsequently, in August 2011 the company was renamed Hero MotoCorp with a new corporate identity. In June 2012, Hero motocorp approved a proposal to merge the investment arm of its parent Hero Investment Pvt. Ltd. into the automaker. The decision comes after 18 months of its split from Honda Motors. Most companies today face rising/growing expectations about their environmental performance from a variety of stakeholders. A growing number of companies realize that to achieve their environmental goals and satisfy stake-holders expectations, they need to look beyond their own facilities and to involve their suppliers/vendors in environmental initiatives. Leading companies also understand that customers do not always differentiate between a company and its suppliers and hold companies accountable for supplier’s environmental and labor practices. In addition many companies are working to streamline their supply base and develop more cooperative, long-term relationships with key suppliers, a practice that has fostered greater opportunities to work together on environmental issues. The concept of the green supply/vendor chain management is to consistently meet specifies environmental performance criteria among the participants of the supply chain and also approach more consistent corporate environmental behavior among all players in the chain of products and services. Additional objective is to help the suppliers recognize the importance of environmental issues and support them in their own programs for improvements. About:- “Hero” is the brand name used by the Munjal brothers for their flagship company, Hero Cycles Ltd. A joint venture between the Hero Group and Honda Motor Company was established in 1984 as the Hero Honda Motors Limited at Dharuhera, India. Munjal family and Honda group both owned 26% stake in the Company. During the 1980s, the company introduced motorcycles that were popular in India for their fuel economy and low cost. A popular advertising campaign based on the slogan 'Fill it – Shut it – Forget it' that emphasized the motorcycle's fuel efficiency helped the company grow at a double-digit pace since inception. In 2001, the company became the largest two-wheeler manufacturing company in India and globally.[2] It

In 2001, the Company achieved the coveted position of being the largest two-wheeler manufacturing company in India and globally. It maintains global industry leadership till date. Operational Performance In 2012-13, Hero MotoCorp sold 6.07 million units compared to 6.23 million units in the previous year. This was on account of poor rains, firm interest rates, high fuel prices and heightened caution on the part of customers across the two-wheeler industry. In the dominant motorcycle segment, Hero MotoCorp with sales of 5.5 million units, continued to lead the domestic market with 46% market share. This, however, was marginally lower than the 48.4% market share in 2011-12. Sales in the domestic motorcycle market remained flat at 10.08 million units, compared to 10.07 million units in the previous year. In the Indian market, Hero MotoCorp captured 53.2% market share, with sales of 5.3 million units. Despite the
  • 14. slowdown, the Company sold more than the second, third and fourth placed motorcycle manufacturers in India taken together during the year. Exports Hero MotoCorp, with sales of over 1,36,000 units, accounted for 7.3% of motorcycle exports from India. Hero Motocorp’s International Focus During 2012-13, the Company exported 1, 61,043 units as compared to 1, 65,925 units the previous year resulting in a decline of 2.94%. Moreover, the Company exported spare parts worth ` 38.38 crores depicting a growth of 16% over the previous year. The growth came as a result of distributor realignments in existing markets, launches across Sri Lanka and Nepal, increased promotional activities in Bangladesh and a stronger focus on the Columbian market. In 2012-13, the Company prepared the template for an ambitious international foray covering the countries of Africa, Latin America and Central America. At the time of writing the Report, Hero MotoCorp’s first consignments to new international markets across these geographies had been well received.

SALES The Company registered total sales of 6.07 million units during 2012-13, recording a 2.6% decline. In value terms total sales (net of excise duty) increased by 0.9% to Rs. 23,583 crores from Rs. 23,368 crores recorded in the previous fiscal year.
  • 15. PROFIABILITY The Company’s earnings before interest, depreciation and taxes (EBITDA) margins decreased from 15.35% in 2011-12 to 13.82% in 2012-13. Operating margins fell from 10.69% to 9.02% on account of higher input costs and amortization. Operating profit (PBT before other income) decreased from Rs. 2,521 crores in 2011-12 to Rs.2,143 crores in 2012-13. Decline in sales caused the margins to fall. OTHER INCOME (INCLUDING OTHER OPERATING REVENUE) Other income increased by 1.42% from Rs.576 crores in 2011-12 to Rs.584 crores in 2012-13. CASH FLOWS During the year, the free cash flow from operations stood at Rs. 1,890 crores (previous year Rs . 2,360 crores). These cash flows were deployed in capital assets, investments and also paid out as dividend during the year. RAW MATERIAL COSTS During the year, metal prices were volatile, particularly for steel, copper, aluminum and nickel. However, raw material costs as a proportion of sales declined from 73.95% to 73.77%. CURRENT ASSETS TURNOVER The Company’s current asset turnover, indicating sales as a proportion of average current assets (excluding investments), decreased from 18.3% to 13.5%. This was primarily due to higher average inventory, trade receivables and loans & advances. DEBT STRUCTURE Hero MotoCorp is debt-free for the past 12 years and incurs no borrowing costs. Finance cost includes interest on account of advances from dealers and other transactional costs. DIVIDEND POLICY Over the years, the Company has consistently followed a policy of paying high dividends, keeping in mind the cash-generating capacities, the expected capital needs of business and strategic considerations. For 2012-13, the Board recommended a dividend of 3000% compared to 2250% declared in previous year and has maintained a payout ratio of 66.2% vis-a-vis 43.9% in the previous year. WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The Company has always sought to efficiently use the various components of working capital cycle. It has also effectively controlled the receivables and inventories, enabling it to operate on a negative working capital. Evolving a risk-focused Strategy
  • 16. At Hero MotoCorp, a risk focused strategy is the result of identifying, assessing and evaluating risks and taking proactive measures to address those risks. CURRENCY DEPRECIATION A flight of safety to the US dollar and India’s ballooning current account deficit resulted in the Indian rupee depreciating significantly of its value in a year. If the rupee further continues its downfall, costs of imported spares, technology royalties, raw materials and capital goods can significantly shoot up, impacting the Company’s bottom line. INFLATION Inflation is finally moderating after a two- year hiatus, but the plunging Indian rupee and uncertainty in crude oil prices have the capability to dampen sentiments. An uptick in inflation during 2013-14 can stall or pause the process of monetary easing, thereby impacting consumer sentiment. INTEREST RATES The Company has not been significantly affected by the higher interest rate scenario owing to a strong balance sheet and healthy cash flows. However, in the event of significant expansions being planned by the Company, rising interest rates can increase the cost of capital and also impact the operations of crucial vendors. To counter this challenge, the Company is pursuing an aggressive policy of multiple sourcing. GLOBAL UNCERTAINTY With the Company having firm plans to increase its footprint in Latin America and Africa, it will become more susceptible to country-specific as well as region-specific geo-political events. Considering this, the Company is chalking out an overseas entry strategy, post careful consideration of local dynami cs. COMPETITION The Company has completed its first full year of operations, post its new brand identity. However, the level and intensity of competition from Hero MotoCorp’s erstwhile partner is expected to shoot up by many notches. Product launches pitted against Hero MotoCorp’s strongest brands can exert some pressure on market share, but the Company is adequately prepared to defend and consolidate its strong turf. R&D To enable the Company to succeed in an altered landscape, the R&D function is being s et up afresh with a strong focus on technology sourcing and new product development. New alliances and technology tie-ups were finalized during the year under review, but it will take a while before the Company is ready with a solid portfolio of its own products.
  • 17. PHILOSOPHY ON ‘CODE OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE’ The Company’s philosophy of Corporate Governance stems from a belief that the Company’s business strategy and plans should be consistent with the welfare of all its stakeholders, including shareholders. Good Corporate Governance practices enable a Company to attract financial and human capital. In turn, these resources are leveraged to maximize long-term shareholder value, while preserving the interests of multiple stakeholders, including the society at large. Corporate Governance rests upon the four pillars of: transparency, full disclosure, independent monitoring and fairness to all, especially to minority shareholders. The Company has always strived to promote Good Governance practices, which ensure that: A competent management team is at the helm of affairs; The Board is strong with an optimum combination of Executive and Non-Executive (including Independent) Directors, who represent the interest of all stakeholders; The Board is effective in monitoring and controlling the Company’s affairs; The Board is concerned about the Company’s shareholders; and The Management and Employees have a stable environment. We believe that the essence of Corporate Governance lies in the phrase “Your Company”. It is “Your” Company because it belongs to “you” – the shareholders. The Chairman and Directors are “Your” fiduciaries and trustees. Their objective is to take the business forward to maximize “Your” long -term value. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has specified certain mandatory governance practices, which are incorporated in Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement of Stock Exchange. The Company is committed to benchmark itself with the best standards of Corporate Governance, not only in form but also in spirit. This section, along with the section on ‘Management Discussion & Analysis’ and ‘General Shareholders’ Information’ constitute the Company’s compliance with Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement, entered into by the Company with the Stock Exchanges.

The Pawan Munjal that the media in the Capital got to meet on Monday morning was a different man - not the usually reticent, suit-attired, guarded personality. This time, the chief of the world's largest two-wheeler manufacturer, by volume was oozing confidence with his shirt sleeves rolled-up, and aggressive body language, which easily conveyed that he was ready to take on the competition. While announcing Hero MotoCorp's first-ever equity purchase in an overseas company - a 49.2% stake for US$25 million in its US-based technology partner Erik Buell Racing (EBR) - Munjal also outlined a slew of aggressive plans that he has already initiated - the imminent foray into Africa with assembly lines, spreading operations in more countries in Latin America, multiple product launches leading up to the festive season, and a big splash in the coming Auto Expo in Delhi in February 2014. The big news of the day was the equity purchase by Hero in EBR. ET on February 27, 2012 was the first to report the likelihood of Hero picking up stake in American bike company.The company on Monday announced that the first tranche of $15 million has already been invested by HMCL, while the second tranche of $10 million will be invested within the next nine months. The investment in EBR is being done through Hero MotoCorp's newly-incorporated wholly-owned American subsidiary - HMCL (NA). Hero MotoCorp will now have representations on the EBR board with two directors and one observer. However, there will be no organizational changes at EBR, and Erik Buell will continue to be its Chairman and CEO. This time, Pawan was candid enough to say that he is definitely looking at both organic as well as inorganic options for growth. In an exclusive interview to ET immediately after making the announcement, he said "Yes, definitely, I am always looking out (for further overseas acquisitions)...I am constantly travelling around the globe, keeping my mind open. If a good opportunity comes our way, I will certainly look at it."

We will also shortly be launching in Peru and Ecuador in Latin America. This will be in addition to Colombia where we already have our presence," he said. Hero is looking at setting up assembly in Africa and Latin America. "The assembly in Colombia would possibly come up sometime by the middle of next year," Munjal said. On new launches, he said that the first of the new launches - variants and refreshes on existing platforms - will be launched around the festive season this year, although 'the completely new model will come up in calendar year 2014'. "Wait till Auto Expo next year in Delhi, you will see a lot of new stuff from us," said Munjal. "The equity partnership with EBR is reflective of our long-term vision of transforming Hero MotoCorp to a truly global two-wheeler major with footprints spread across continents, offering a wide range of technologically-advanced two-wheelers. As we go on spreading our footprint in new international markets, we will look at having extended centers of our own R&D at multiple locations around the world, developing two-wheelers for our global customers. Our fully-owned new overseas subsidiaries such as the one in the US and in Netherlands will play important roles in our future overseas acquisitions and investments," he added. Hero Honda Motors, Ltd. In this interview, Brijmohan Lall, chairman of motorcycle manufacturer Hero Honda Motors, Ltd., and his son, Pawan Munjal, the company's managing director and CEO, speak about the part innovation has played in the company's rise to the top. Innovation Helps Hero Honda Ride to No. 1 Spot A question for motorcycle fans around the world: Where is largest manufacturer of motorcycles located? Japan? Germany? Italy? The answer is India, where Hero Honda Motors became the largest single-entity manufacturer of two-wheelers in 2001, shipping 1.4 million motorcycles -- seizing a dominant 48-percent share of the domestic market in the process. In 2002 it plans to increase shipments further to 1.8 million. The New Delhi-based company is a joint venture between India's Hero Group and Japan's giant Honda Motor Company. Established in 1984, it came about when Honda chose Hero Cycles as its partner to set up a motorcycle operation in India after the Indian government relaxed foreign investment and import regulations on two-wheel motorized technology up to 100 cc. Hero Cycles was then, and still is, the world's largest maker of bicycles, selling over 5 million cycles annually. Another Hero company, Hero Majestic, had also established a moped manufacturing business. This combination of mass-production know-how and a large distribution network proved crucial to Honda's decision to join Hero, despite being ardently courted by a number of other Indian manufacturers. "Honda saw that we had similar business philosophies," says Brijmohan Lall, chairman and founder of the Hero Group of companies. "We were careful with capital investment, and made efficient use of equipment and manpower. Honda also saw how we had created a strong
  • 41. relationship with the entire stakeholder community, whether it was with our employees, our dealers or our customers. So it all clicked." From the beginning, Brijmohan Lall made the bold decision to bet on four-stroke motorcycle technology, when two-stroke scooters were by far the most popular form of transport in India at the time. After talking with potential customers around the country, Hero engineers worked with Honda to come up with a design for an extremely fuel-efficient two-wheeler adapted for the Indian environment. In 1985 Hero launched its first motorcycle, the CD100, which gave 80 km to the liter. "The four-stroke engine is more fuel efficient and cleaner," says Brijmohan Lall. "There was nothing like the CD100 being built in India. Scooters were not getting more than 40 km to the liter. So this was a breakthrough product, and we rode on its success in the early years." Hero has since fine-tuned its process for finding out just what a diversified customer base across the length and breadth of India wants. It does this by regularly conducting vast market surveys that question up to 70,000 people at a time. What comes back are specific customer requirements and preferences. These are then translated by Hero's marketing and R&D teams into basic specifications, which are sent on to Honda's R&D group in Japan. Honda comes up with a prototype design, and Hero takes this back into the market to sound out customers for possible further refinement, until a winning design is eventually arrived at for Hero to build. Reaching Out With Mobile Workshops Given the country's one billion population and large area, it is impractical for Hero to establish sales and maintenance outlets in every town. So it's come up with the fresh idea of mobile service workshops: a complete workshop incorporated into trucks that travel predetermined routes, visiting small towns and villages where existing Hero customers reside. "Customers are informed a workshop will be coming, so that they don't have to travel hundreds of kilometers to an authorized workshop for servicing or repairs," explains Pawan Munjal, who, as managing director and CEO of Hero Honda, has taken over the daily running of the company from his father. These mobile workshops also double as sales outlets and spare-part distributors. The concept has been so successful that some of Hero's largest distributors have adopted the idea and send out their own workshops to supplement Hero's efforts. At the same time Hero has brought innovation into its authorized dealerships. To reduce the amount of manual labor involved in repairs and maintenance, it has introduced pneumatic tools to replace hand tools, while hydraulic ramps now position bikes for easy inspection. It has also installed automatic ventilation systems in repair shops to remove engine exhaust fumes. It doesn't stop there. Customers can wait in air-conditioned waiting rooms where TVs and water coolers have been installed, while in a few key dealerships, they can enjoy a cup of tea and surf the Internet in Hero cyber cafes. What's more, in certain larger dealerships, customers can actually watch ongoing repairs through glass-fronted workshops. "This gives customers more confidence in our service and support," says Pawan Munjal. "Normally, workshops are dirty areas and companies don't want their customers to see them. We've installed glass walls so customers
  • 42. can see the cleanliness and the type of work that's going on." Passport to Customer Loyalty Last April Hero launched the Hero Honda Passport, a program designed to increase customer loyalty. Customers who sign up are issued "passports," and they receive points when purchasing parts or referring new customers. "This helps us in getting to know our customers better," says Pawan Munjal. "We have 600,000 members in the program, and we also organize events where they can meet sports stars and film stars. This creates loyalty in our customers." But to create loyal customers, a company must first have loyal employees. "Fortunately, Honda has a good name, Hero has a good name, so we attract very good people," says Brijmohan Lall, who at 79, still continues to put in a full day's work as chairman. "With our long experience we have created a friendly atmosphere. My door is never closed, so anyone can walk in at any time." As a reward for becoming the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer, the Munjals took the managers (along with their wives) who had contributed most to this success on a vacation to Switzerland last year. "We conducted a seminar on top of a Swiss mountain to symbolize our success," says Brijmohan Lall. "We also invited a professor from Harvard University to come and give us a talk on how we must now compete and sustain ourselves at this new level." Hero Honda's IT Strategy With the Indian motorcycle market opening up to overseas competitors and more fierce domestic competition, Hero Honda decided it needed to overhaul its various computer systems and create a single integrated IT system. Rather than continue to use computers merely for data processing, it sought to use IT to integrate business operations such as product planning, materials resource planning, financials and sales and distribution. It was also looking to automate its internal supply chain, reduce overall costs, and create a transparent information system that would help managers make decisions more quickly. To do all this it teamed up with SAP in June 2000 to implement the system, and went live in February 2001. "Now we can look at the same information, when earlier we had three or four different versions, which didn't always match," says Pawan Munjal. "Now we (the managers) can all look at the same costs, for example, because all the information is up there on the screen. Nothing is hidden, everything is transparent. So there are no arguments over figures now, which used to waste time and hold up decision-making." There are improvements on the factory floor too, now that manufacturing has been brought into the new IT system. In the past there was no accurate way of checking the consumption of raw materials and inventory in general. So excess stocks in some areas became inevitability. "Now we know what should be there and what is there," says Pawan Munjal. At the same time, defective parts and materials are no longer accepted, forcing suppliers to upgrade their quality. "The next step is to get dealers and suppliers online, so that orders can be taken directly by the suppliers," says Pawan Munjal. This will eliminate any wastage that is still left in our supply chain."

Hero goes global; to unveil new brand identity in London New Delhi: Hero Honda Motors Ltd will reveal its new brand identity on 9 August—on the eve of third cricket test match between India and England—in London, according to two persons familiar with the development who requested anonymity.“It is a global launch and a first such step taken by the company to become global,” one of them said. “If you are following the ongoing India-England test series, they have already started giving teasers to what is going to come,” said the second person. The company’s promotions on hoardings at Lord’s stadium in London read: A new Hero will rise. London-based branding firm Wolff Olins has created Hero Honda’s new identity after India’s largest motorcycle maker split from its Japanese partner Honda Motor Co. Ltd in December. It will be renamed HeroMoto Corp. Ltd shortly. The Hero group, which sells the Splendor, Passion and Karizma bikes, has said it will evolve its own brand after the split with Honda and enter markets such as Latin America, Africa and West Asia with a new logo. The company will unveil its new branding strategy by the end of July or early August, Mint reported in March.Hero can use the Honda brand till 2014, according to an agreement between the two erstwhile partners, but the Indian group wants to a new identity soon to maintain pole position. The new identity will not only help Hero group venture overseas but will also allow it to source components from alternative vendors, say analysts. “As long as the name of Honda exists on the product, component sourcing can be done from the approved vendor list. Once the re-branding under Hero name happens, Hero honda will be free to scout for alternative vendors, if there is need,” Chirag Shah, a sector analyst with Mumbai-based brokerage Emkay Research, wrote in an 8 April report on Hero Honda.
