The company had sold 6,25,420 two-wheeler units in October 2013, Hero MotoCorp Ltd (HMCL) said in a statement.
Over a million two-wheelers were sold during the recently concluded festival period.
“HMCL retailed more than one million (10 lakh) two-wheelers during the 37-day festive period, which started on September 25 and lasted until October 31, 2014,” the company said.

Last month, the company had inaugurated a manufacturing plant at Neemrana in Rajasthan.
“The company has lined up a total investment of Rs 5,000 crore across the globe, including manufacturing plants in Columbia and Bangladesh.
“New plants are also coming up at Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh and Hero Global Centre for research and design at Kukas in Rajasthan,” it said.
