Honda reaches 20 lakhs production milestone in India

Yes, Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL) which has been selling cars for decades now in India finally reaches the 20 lakhs production milestone. The company today announced that the company has reached the Million-unit milestone in cumulative production of Honda cars in India. 

Honda Cars India said in a blog post:

The company’s premium sedan Honda City formally rolled out of the assembly line at its state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Tapukara – Rajasthan, making it the 2 Millionth Honda car made in India. The milestone event was attended by senior leadership from Honda’s Regional Office including Mr. Hiroshi Tokutake, Executive Vice President, Asian Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and Mr. Katsuhiro Kaneda, Director, Asian Honda Motor Co., Ltd. along with the HCIL management team.

Honda has only been focussing mostly on the best car they have ever sold in India i.e. the Honda City and obviously they need to introduce more cars in the country. However, the Honda City alone has been doing strong as a premium sedan but looking forward we expect the company to bring more cars that they are launching elsewhere to India.

HCIL began production operations in Dec 1997 with a focus on offering premium and world-class products for its customers in India. The 2 Million milestones also reiterate Honda’s commitment towards the “Make in India” vision of Govt. of India. The company has cumulatively invested over Rs 10 000 crores since setting up its operations in India.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Takuya Tsumura, President & CEO, Honda Cars India Ltd, said, “The historic milestone of 2 Million Production roll out in India is a testimony to Honda’s commitment to the ‘Make in India’ initiative for the last 25 years. We express our sincere gratitude to all our customers, dealer partners and supplier partners for their confidence is us and making Honda a very loved and trusted brand in the country.
