Everything About Us

Our BEGINNINGS

Established by the late Shri Om Prakash Munjal in 1956 in Ludhiana, it was his vision and business acumen that helped Hero Cycles grow to where we are today. With an annual manufacturing capacity of over 7.5 million cycles, Hero Cycles is the leader in India with a market share of over 43 percent.

As Mr O.P. Munjal desired, Hero Cycles has also moved towards India to a self-reliant future with the 380-acre Hero Industrial Park in Ludhiana. From here, Hero will deliver export-standard products to the domestic market. While we have established our legacy, we believe in keeping up with the evolving times. That’s how Hero Sprint was born. With contemporary designs, exclusive Hero Sprint Experience Stores that offer attractive EMI schemes, accessories, and regular maintenance, a Hero Sprint cyclist will always be on the move!

Along with this, we have also forayed into the European market, the electric cycles, and the premium cycle market through the acquisition of Avocet Sports, HNF, and Firefox Bikes respectively.

Hero Cycles’ passion for setting higher standards for itself has resulted in the brand finding a place in the Guinness Book Of World Records and also in millions of cyclists’ hearts.
