This facility, representing a significant investment of over INR 750 crores, serves as the foundation of an expansive INR 3,200 crore plus investment roadmap. The investment is aimed at transforming Tirupati into a world-class manufacturing and electric mobility hub, while strengthening Hero MotoCorp’s global supply chain and reinforcing India’s position in the automotive and EV ecosystem.

Chandrababu Naidu, said, “Hero MotoCorp has been a valued partner in Andhra Pradesh's growth journey, and particularly in the transformation of Rayalaseema.

Over the years, Hero MotoCorp's presence has generated thousands of jobs, strengthened local supply chains, enhanced skills and accelerated economic growth across Rayalaseema and Andhra Pradesh. We are delighted to see this partnership grow even stronger.”

We deeply appreciate Hero MotoCorp's continued trust in Andhra Pradesh and look forward to working together to build a future-ready, globally competitive industrial ecosystem that drives innovation, creates quality employment, and delivers sustainable prosperity for all.” 

Dr. Pawan Munjal, Executive Chairman, Hero MotoCorp also shared his view on this achievement.

It is deeply meaningful to mark this milestone on the 103rd birth anniversary of my beloved father, our Founder and Chairman Emeritus, Dr. Brijmohan Lall Munjal. A true visionary, he championed the belief that great institutions are not just built to survive the present but are actively sculpted to lead the future. This Centre is a humble tribute to his vision, values and enduring belief in India’s potential. I am certain that this new Centre will proudly carry forward his legacy of enterprise, purpose and service to the nation.” 

The upcoming Global Parts Centre will serve as a strategic nerve centre for Hero MotoCorp’s domestic and international spare parts operations. 100 percent of our electric vehicle portfolio is entirely designed, engineered and manufactured in the Tirupati plant. With this investment, the plant’s annual production capacity is expected to scale aggressively to 1.2–1.5 million units, further strengthening Tirupati’s position as one of India’s premier manufacturing hubs for future mobility.

The expansion is expected to generate around 4,000 employment opportunities. This job creation aligns with both the national vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 and the Government of Andhra Pradesh’s SwarnAndhra vision. Beyond employment, this Global Parts Centre will act as an economic catalyst to deliver sustained benefits in the region.

Continuing its efforts to sustainable growth, Hero MotoCorp launched two community initiatives in partnership with the Government of Andhra Pradesh. The ‘Dr. Brijmohan Lall Munjal Heroes of Tomorrow Scholarship’ programme will empower technical education students across 28 districts. This initiative will provide full tuition coverage for meritorious students pursuing engineering degrees at state IIITs, fostering the next generation of tech leaders. Furthermore, reinforcing its commitment to local community welfare, the company will deploy VIDA electric scooters and provide specialised road safety training to women police personnel across the Tirupati district, fostering empowerment through sustainable mobility.
