India’s largest two-wheeler maker Hero MotoCorp has begun developing Bharat Stage (BS) VI compliant models as it aims to introduce such products much before the official timeline of 2020. The company said it had also proactively switched to manufacturing only BS IV compliant vehicles well before the date stipulated by the authorities. “In keeping with this spirit, we have already started our preparations for the launch of BS VI models and are aiming to launch BS VI compliant products well before the proposed timeline in 2020,” Hero MotoCorp Chairman, MD and CEO Pawan Munjal said in his address to shareholders in the company’s Annual Report for 2016-17. The two-wheeler major, which crossed 70 million units in cumulative sales during 2016-17, has lined up six new models across segments in the current financial year to spur growth.
