Hero MotoCorp to Invest Over Rs 3,200 Crore in Andhra Pradesh, Breaks Ground for New Parts Centre

Hero MotoCorp, the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, held a Foundation Stone Laying Ceremony on Wednesday for its second Global Parts Centre (GPC) in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, marking the start of an investment roadmap exceeding Rs 3,200 crore in the state.

The new facility itself represents an investment of over Rs 750 crore and is intended to serve as a strategic hub for the company's domestic and international spare parts operations. With the expansion, the Tirupati plant's annual production capacity is expected to scale to between 1.2 million and 1.5 million units. The company noted that its entire electric vehicle portfolio is designed, engineered and manufactured at the Tirupati facility.

The project is expected to create around 4,000 employment opportunities, which the company said aligns with the national Viksit Bharat 2047 vision and the Andhra Pradesh government's SwarnAndhra initiative.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu attended the ceremony and said Hero MotoCorp's decision to expand in Tirupati reflected the state's investor-friendly policies and infrastructure, adding that the company's presence had already generated jobs and strengthened local supply chains across the Rayalaseema region.

Hero MotoCorp's Executive Chairman Dr. Pawan Munjal said the investment reinforced the company's "Made in India, for India and the World" commitment, and noted that the ceremony coincided with the 103rd birth anniversary of the company's founder, Dr. Brijmohan Lall Munjal.
