Pawan Munjal, Chairman of Hero MotoCorp, spoke at an event in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, on July 1, 2026, where he laid the foundation stone for the company's second global parts center. Munjal stated that the company would not have come to the state without N. Chandrababu Naidu as Chief Minister, expressing "absolute faith" in Naidu's leadership. He noted that the Tirupati factory had crossed a milestone of 1 million vehicles in March 2026 and had recently begun exporting premium electric vehicles. Munjal described the facility as the birthplace of Hero MotoCorp's premium electric brand, Vida, and said the company is setting global benchmarks with 100% zero waste to landfill, 797% water positivity, and 95% product recyclability. Munjal also announced two initiatives: providing a fleet of Vida electric scooters to women police personnel in Tirupati, and launching the "Dr. Brijmohan Lall Munjal Heroes of Tomorrow Scholarship" to fund top-performing technical education students across all 28 districts of Andhra Pradesh. He highlighted that the factory's workforce includes 38% gender diversity, with nearly 1,000 women running critical assembly and inspection lines, and 27 specially-abled team members. Munjal framed the company's presence in Andhra Pradesh as a contribution to an "Atmanirbhar Bharat" (self-reliant India).
