In a move to strengthen its foothold in India, Honda Motor Company has announced a detailed plan for the Indian market, aiming to grab a bigger slice of the pie This elaborate plan includes ten new cars to be introduced, out of which seven will be SUVs. All of these cars will be out by 2030.
The Honda 0 ɑ (Alpha) SUV, displayed at the 2025 Japan Mobility show, is slated to be manufactured in India, and will be globally exported to other countries including Japan and rest of Asia. The ɑ SUV will share components with the Honda Elevate, which is already on sale in India, and is also exported to Japan. This should allow the Japanese manufacturer to have a quicker turnaround for a new product.
Honda plans to appoint a dedicated team for the cause, which will allow them to understand and plan the approach as to what the Indian customers look for. Out of the ten products Honda plans to add to its Indian portfolio, some will be global products, while others will be tailored according to the preference of Indian car.
To showcase the Indian manufacturing prowess and bring it up to the global stage, Honda foresees our country as a manufacturing and design hub for their products for both the domestic and international markets. While the whole plan will need a dedicated approach by the manufacturer, only time will tell how things shape up for the Japanese four-wheeler giant.
