New Delhi, Nov 29 (IANS) Two?wheeler major Hero MotoCorp Thursday reported a 7 percent rise in sales in the festive months of October and November, at more than 11 lakh units.

"Our retail sales in October and November crossed 11 lakh units earlier this week," said Anil Dua, senior vice president, marketing and sales, for Hero MotoCorp.

"This represents a 7 percent growth over the same period last year."
