INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM STANDALONE FINANCIAL RESULTS

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF HERO MOTOCORP LIMITED

L We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of Standalone Unaudited Financial Results of Hero MotoCorp Limited ("the
Company"), for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2024 ("the Statement"), being submitted by the Company
pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015,
as amended.

2. This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company's Management and approved by the Company's Board of Directors,
has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standard
34 "Interim Financial Reporting" ("Ind AS 34"), prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with relevant rules
issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on
the Statement based on our review.

3. We conducted our review of the Statement 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 Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (ICAI). 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 Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of
the Companies Act, 2013 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.

4. Based on our review conducted as stated in paragraph 3 above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that
the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the
aforesaid Indian Accounting Standard 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 Requirements)
Regulations, 2015, as amended, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

5. 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 on the date of approval of these financial results, the
Company has not identified any adjustment, disclosure or any other effect on these financial results.

Our conclusion on the Statement is not modified in respect of this matter.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF HERO MOTOCORP LIMITED

1. We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of Consolidated Unaudited Financial Results 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 and total comprehensive loss of its associates for the quarter and half year
ended September 30, 2024 ("the Statement"), being submitted by the Parent pursuant to the requirement of
Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended.

2. This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Parent's Management and approved by the Parent's Board of
Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the
Indian Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" ("Ind AS 34"), prescribed under Section 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013 read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.

3. We conducted our review of the Statement 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
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). A review of interim financial information consists of making
inquiries, primarily of Parent'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
Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 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.

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.

4. The Statement includes the results of the following entities:

b. Ather Energy Limited

5. Based on our review conducted and procedures performed as stated in paragraph 3 above and based on the
consideration of the review reports of the other auditors and joint auditor referred to in paragraph 7 below,
nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in
accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the aforesaid Indian Accounting
Standard 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 Requirements)
Regulations, 2015, as amended, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material
Skin misstatement.

6. 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 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.

Mr. Niranjan Gupta, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Hero MotoCorp, said, “We have
continued our exceptional performance in Q2 FY’25, once again creating a new high in both
topline and bottomline. Our strong focus on cash management has resulted in us delivering
strong cash flow, strengthening our financial position even further.

While our existing line up of strong brands continue to deliver in Entry and Deluxe segment ,
our journey to build a powerful portfolio in premium segment is progressing with pace. As
unveiled in EICMA, we will see 3 more models in this segment in next 6 months ‐ Xpulse 210 ,
Xtreme 250R and Karizma XMR 250 . Apart from portfolio, we will continue to expand Premia
stores targeting to cross 100 by the end of the current fiscal year. Our strong financials will
allow us to now aggressively invest behind brand building.

We are also planning a slew of launches in scooter segment, covering both ICE and EV. We will
have 3 models coming in ICE scooters by March 2025, containing many first in class and best in
class features. Our VIDA market shares continue to move up, and we will be expanding the
portfolio to cover all price segments soon.

The recently concluded festive season saw us clocking our highest ever retails at 16 lakhs units,
backed by higher demand from rural sector. We believe that the strong monsoon will help the
momentum in the Industry going forward. The fundamentals look good for Indian economy in
general and 2 wheeler industry in particular”
