Hero MotoCorp has increased prices of the Destini BS6 scooter in the Indian market. Prices have been increased for both variants of the scooter by up to Rs 1,300. The manufacturer is yet to officially respond about the price hike of the scooter.
The BS6 Hero Destini 125 scooter comes in two variants — LX and VX. Prices for the entry-level LX variant have been increased by Rs 1,000, and now retails at a starting price of Rs 65,310.

The Hero Destini 125 is powered by a BS6-compliant 124cc single-cylinder fuel-injected engine. It produces a maximum power of 9bhp at 7,000rpm and a peak torque of 10.4Nm at 5,500rpm.

The Destini 125 features start/stop technology, a semi-digital instrument cluster, dual-texture seats, alloy wheels, chrome accents all around, mobile charging and a boot lamp; among others. Other cycle parts include telescopic suspension at the front and hydraulic suspension as the rear. Braking on the scooter is done via drum brakes at both ends supported by an integrated braking system.
