With respect to the Standalone Financial Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, based on our review
conducted as stated in paragraph (b) of Auditor's Responsibilities section below, nothing has come to our

Accounting Standards and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the
information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure

Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to note 10 in respect of disallowances by the Income Tax authorities of deductions from
taxable income in prior periods of certain expenses incurred in those periods. The Company has appealed to the
Commissioner of Income Tax - Appeals against these disallowances. The Company based on available
information, underlying evidence supporting these disallowed expenses, and supplemented by external legal
advice has not made any provision for this demand because it is probable that the Company's position will be
accepted upon ultimate resolution.
Additionally, as also described in note 10, the Company and its Chairman are under investigation by certain other
Government agencies. Pending resolution of these investigations as at the date of this report, there is
uncertainty on the ultimate outcome of these investigations. Based on available information and facts as at the
date of approval of these financial results, the Company has not identified any adjustment, disclosure or any
other effect on these financial results.
This Statement which includes the Standalone Financial Results is the responsibility of the Company's Board of
Directors and has been approved by them for the issuance. The Standalone Financial Results for the year ended
March 31, 2024 has been compiled from the related audited standalone financial statements. This responsibility
includes the preparation and presentation of the Standalone Financial Results for the quarter and year ended
March 31, 2024 that give a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other
financial information in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian
Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and
other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing
Regulations. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with
the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds
and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and
estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate
internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the
accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Standalone Financial Results that give a
true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Results, the Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's
ability, to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
Auditor's Responsibilities
(a) Audit of the Standalone Financial Results for the year ended March 31, 2024
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Results for
the year ended March 31, 2024 as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this Standalone Financial Results.

Deloitte
Haskins & Sells LLP
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Annual Standalone Financial Results,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by the Board of Directors.
• Evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of disclosures made by the Board of Directors in
terms of the requirements specified under Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related
to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a
going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in
our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Statement or, if such disclosures are inadequate,
to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of
our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to
continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Annual Standalone Financial Results,
including the disclosures, and whether the Annual Standalone Financial Results represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Annual Standalone Financial Results that,
individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably
knowledgeable user of the Annual Standalone Financial Results may be influenced. We consider
quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in
evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the
Annual Standalone Financial Results.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including any significant deficiencies in internal
control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
(b) Review of the Standalone Financial Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024
We conducted our review of the Standalone Financial Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 in
accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements ("SRE") 2410 'Review of Interim Financial
Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity', issued by the ICA'. A review of interim
10, financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of the Company's personnel responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is
Deloitte
Haskins & Sells LLP
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with SAs specified under section
143(10) of the Act and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware
of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit
opinion.
Other Matters
As stated in note 11, the Statement includes the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 being the
balancing figure between audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the published year to date
figures up to the third quarter of the current financial year which were subject to limited review by us.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON AUDIT OF ANNUAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS AND REVIEW
OF QUARTERLY FINANCIAL RESULTS
We have (a) audited the Consolidated Financial Results for the year ended March 31, 2024 and (b) reviewed the
Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 (refer 'Other Matters' section below),
which were subject to limited review by us, both included in the accompanying "Statement of Consolidated
Financial Results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2024" of Hero MotoCorp Limited ("the Parent") and
its subsidiaries (the Parent and its subsidiaries together referred to as "the Group"), and its share of the net loss

measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standards and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of
Regulation 33 of the SERI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as
amended, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.
Basis for Opinion on the Audited Consolidated Financial Results for the year ended March 31, 2024
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SAs") specified under Section 143(10)
of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act"). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in
paragraph (a) of Auditor's Responsibilities section below. We are independent of the Group and its associates in
accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ("the ICAI") together
with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Consolidated Financial Results for the year
ended March 31, 2024 under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the
audit evidence obtained by us and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports
referred to in Other Matters section below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to note 11 in respect of disallowances by the Income Tax authorities of deductions from
taxable income in prior periods of certain expenses incurred in those periods. The Parent Company has appealed
to the Commissioner of Income Tax - Appeals against these disallowances. The Parent Company based on
available information, underlying evidence supporting these disallowed expenses, and supplemented by
external legal advice has not made any provision for this demand because it is probable that the Parent
Company's position will be accepted upon ultimate resolution.
Additionally, as also described in note 11, the Parent Company and its Chairman are under investigation by
certain other Government agencies. Pending resolution of these investigations as at the date of this report, there
is uncertainty on the ultimate outcome of these investigations. Based on available information and facts as at
the date of approval of these financial results, the Parent Company has not identified any adjustment, disclosure
or any other effect on these financial results.
This Statement, which includes the Consolidated Financial Results is the responsibility of the Parent's Board of
Directors and has been approved by them for the issuance. The Consolidated Financial Results for the year ended
March 31, 2024, has been compiled from the related audited consolidated financial statements. This
responsibility includes the preparation and presentation of the Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter
and year ended March 31, 2024 that give a true and fair view of the consolidated net profit and consolidated
other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Group including its associates in accordance
with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standards, prescribed
under Section 133 of the Act, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India and in compliance with (Regulation 33) of the Listing Regulations.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates are responsible
for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding
the assets of the Group and its associates and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;
selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are
reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial
controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,
relevant to the preparation and presentation of the respective financial results that give a true and fair view
and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose
of preparation of this Consolidated Financial Results by the Directors of the Parent, as aforesaid.
Deloitte
Haskins & Sells LLP
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Results, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in
the Group and of its associates are responsible for assessing the ability of the respective entities to continue as
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates are responsible
for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group and of its associates.
Auditor's Responsibilities
(a) Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results for the year ended March 31, 2024
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Results for
the year ended March 31, 2024 as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this Consolidated Financial Results.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Annual Consolidated Financial Results,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk
of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by the Board of Directors.
• Evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of disclosures made by the Board of Directors in
terms of the requirements specified under (Regulation 33) of the Listing Regulations.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related
to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group and its associates
to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to
draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Results
or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may
cause the Group and its associates to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Annual Consolidated Financial
Results, including the disclosures, and whether the Annual Consolidated Financial Results represent
the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Deloitte
Haskins & Sells LLP
• Perform procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33(8) of the
Listing Regulations to the extent applicable.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the Annual Standalone Financial Results of
the entities within the Group and its associates to express an opinion on the Annual Consolidated
Financial Results. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of
financial information of entities included in the Annual Consolidated Financial Results of which we
are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the Annual Consolidated Financial
Results, which have been audited by the other auditors, other auditors remain responsible for the
direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Annual Consolidated Financial Results that,
individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably
knowledgeable user of the Annual Consolidated Financial Results may be influenced. We consider
quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in
evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the
Annual Consolidated Financial Results.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Parent and such other entities included in
the Consolidated Financial Results of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including any significant
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
(b) Review of the Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024
We conducted our review of the Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 in
accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410 'Review of Interim Financial
Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity', issued by the ICAL A review of interim
financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of the Company's personnel responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with SAs specified under section
143(10) of the Act and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware
of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit
opinion.
The Statement includes the results of the entities as listed under paragraph (a)(i) of Opinion and
Conclusion section above.
We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33(8)
of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended, to the
extent applicable.
Other Matters
• As stated in note 12, the Statement includes the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 being the
balancing figure between audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the published year to date
figures up to the third quarter of the current financial year which were subject to limited review by us.

the highest number of product launches, to the expansion of new format retail outlets and
upgrade at super speed, to a digital‐first approach in premium, we set the building blocks in
place for accelerated growth in future. Our fiscal prudence and strategic actions ensured that
our financial performance has been robust, resulting in highest ever annual revenue and
Profits.
“Moving forward, we expect the macro‐economic factors to aid the industry’s growth. With
commodity prices remaining stable, expectations of normal monsoons, and government

outlook for upcoming years.”

scooters for the customers. The company also upgraded its retail network with new-age
Premia outlets and the launch of over 400 Hero 2.0 stores.
