Walmart has partnered with India’s Hero Cycles to sell their India-made bicycles across their stores in the USA. The partnership has been confirmed by Taranjit Singh Sandhu, the Indian Ambassador to the USA, who took to social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), to make the announcement.<\/p>\n
Reports state that Walmart is moving away from its longstanding partner China, and towards India. This has been especially true since 2018, when the US company acquired India’s e-commerce platform, Flipkart. Walmart is said to be “committed” to doing business with India, with aims to average $10 billion each year by 2027. This includes everything from toys, electronics, packaged foods and bicycles.<\/p>\n
Coming back to the two-wheelers, Hero Cycles has been manufacturing bicycles since 1956. The company offers a wide range of products from kids’ cycles, urban ragers, MTBs, and now, even e-bikes. Prices for the products range from $100 and go all the way up to $1500. However, neither Walmart nor Hero Cycles have revealed the product lineup which will be on offer to customers in the US. Although, considering Walmart is known to offer budget-friendly products, the cycles could also reflect the same.<\/p>\n
