Hero MotoCorp raids fake parts dealers in Delhi

As part of its ongoing initiative to curb the menace of spurious parts, Hero MotoCorp has raided a number of spurious parts traders in the Karol Bagh market in New Delhi.

Customers can confirm the genuineness of the part by sending the UPI code through SMS on 9266171171. The MRP sticker also contains many salient features like ‘Colour shift Ink’, ‘Scratch & See’ and HGP logo which is visible under UV light. The MRP sticker also contains the Hero logo.
