Hero MotoCorp's consolidated profit after tax fell 17% to Rs 1,418 crore in the April-June quarter, compared with Rs 1,706 crore a year ago, due to a high base effect. Revenue grew on improved product mix and price hikes, but higher input costs weighed on margins. Brokerages have maintained optimism, citing strong demand momentum and upward revision of the domestic two-wheeler industry guidance to double-digit growth for FY27.
