Hero CEO welcomes GST reforms
Welcoming the GST rate reduction, Hero MotoCorp CEO Vikram Kasbekar said, “The government’s next-gen GST 2.0 reforms will boost consumption, empower GDP growth, and accelerate India’s journey to a USD 5 trillion economy.”
Kasbekar highlighted the importance of two-wheelers in daily life. “In addition, more than half of the Indian households use two-wheelers for their daily needs, making it critical for mass mobility,” he said.
The CEO further noted that the price cut comes at a suitable time. “It makes two-wheelers more affordable and accessible for India’s largest consumer base, while giving a strong demand push,” Kasbekar said, adding that the move is timely ahead of the festive season.
Leadership change at Hero
Hero MotoCorp recently appointed Harshavardhan Chitale as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective January 5, 2026. He currently heads the professional business at Dutch lighting company Signify. Chitale will succeeded Vikram Kasbekar, who was serving as acting CEO after the resignation of Niranjan Gupta earlier this year.
Chairman Pawan Munjal said Chitale’s appointment will support the company’s focus on electric and new mobility solutions. “Mr. Chitale’s appointment will accelerate the 'Splendor' motorcycle maker's push into electric and emerging mobility,” Munjal noted in the company’s statement.
Chitale previously led Philips Lighting India through its transition into an independent company and has held senior leadership positions at HCL Infosystems and Honeywell Automation India.
