Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) expects its domestic sales volumes to reach 6 million units during the financial year ending March 2027. This projection marks a year-on-year growth of approximately 4.3% compared to the 5.75 million units dispatched domestically in FY 2025-26.
Honda plans to expand its total production capacity to 8 million units by 2028, up from the current 6.5 million units. This expansion involves building two new production lines at its existing facilities located in Tapukara and Vithalapur in Rajasthan to support both internal combustion engine and electric vehicle models.
Honda is pursuing a multi-fuel strategy that encompasses petrol, flex-fuel, and electric vehicles rather than focusing on a single powertrain. According to HMSI President and CEO Tsutsumu Otani, the choice of powertrain depends on India's evolving social infrastructure, which currently promotes both electric vehicles and biofuels like ethanol blends.
