Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters today laid the foundation stone for its second Global Parts Centre (GPC) in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh.
This landmark facility, representing a significant investment of over Rs 750 crores, serves as the foundation of an expansive Rs 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.
Andhra Pradesh’s chief minister Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu hailed the investment and called Hero MotorCorp a valued partner in Andhra Pradesh’s growth journey, and particularly in the transformation of Rayalaseema.
“This landmark investment will create new opportunities for our youth, strengthen the industrial economy of Rayalaseema, and further establish Tirupati as one of India’s leading manufacturing, mobility and logistics hubs.
As Rayalaseema emerges as a major centre for industry, innovation and advanced manufacturing, partnerships like these will play a defining role in shaping its future.
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.”
Similarly, Dr. Pawan Munjal, Executive Chairman, Hero MotoCorp, said that the foundation stone of its second Global Parts Centre in Tirupati marks an important milestone in our journey and reflects our deep confidence in India’s future and Andhra Pradesh’s vision for growth.
“By transforming Tirupati into a future-ready manufacturing and electric mobility hub, this investment will enhance our global supply chain, support our expansion across markets, and reaffirm our commitment to ‘Made in India, for India and the World”.
Mr Munjal noted that this Centre is a humble tribute to his father’s vision, values and enduring belief in India’s potential.
“It is deeply meaningful to mark this milestone on the 103rd birth anniversary of my father, our Founder and Chairman Emeritus, Dr. Brijmohan Lall Munjal. I am certain that this new Centre will proudly carry forward his legacy of enterprise, purpose and service to the nation,” said Mr Munjal.
About the Centre
The upcoming Global Parts Centre will serve as a strategic nerve centre for Hero MotoCorp’s domestic and international spare parts operations.
The Tirupati manufacturing facility is already an exclusive home to 100% of its electric vehicle portfolio—entirely designed, engineered and manufactured in India.
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.
Creation of Job Opportunities
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.
Empowering Communities
Continuing its efforts towards sustainable growth, Hero MotoCorp launched two transformative community initiatives in partnership with the Government of Andhra Pradesh.
The “Dr. Brijmohan Lall Munjal Heroes of Tomorrow Scholarship” program 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.
In addition, the company will deploy VIDA electric scooters and provide specialized road safety training to women police personnel across the Tirupati district, fostering empowerment through sustainable mobility.
