Sharing thoughts on the sales performance, Kunal Behl, Vice President, Marketing & Sales, Honda Cars India, said, “The festive sales momentum in October with Navratra, Durga Puja, Dussehra, Dhanteras and Diwali celebrated in same month contributed strongly to the customer deliveries at the dealerships. It surely revitalized demand compared to the previous few months of muted activity for the industry. Our dispatches and deliveries aligned with our expectations. Our focused approach to aligning production and inventory with demand positions us well to sustain this momentum.”
On a month-on-month basis, Honda’s sales declined with a total of 10,911 units dispatched in September this year. This comprised 5,675 units in domestic sales and 5,236 units in exports. The Japanese automaker has three models on offer in India, a significant reduction in its portfolio compared to the previous years. The automaker currently retails three models – Amaze, City and Elevate. The latter is its newest offering and Honda even launched the Elevate Apex Edition for the festive season.
Honda is gearing up to introduce the next-generation Amaze soon and the mass market could just be the volume puller the manufacturer needs. The carmaker also has the Elevate Electric lined up for launch but is expected to arrive in 2026.
