Honda India Plans To Become Export Hub For Two-Wheelers

Honda India has announced a new vertical for its business expansion in the foreign market. The brand commenced export service with the Activa back in 2001 and crossed the million unit milestone in 2015. Now, the new structure is aimed at making India a global hub for Honda’s export business.

Honda India exports its two-wheelers in 35 different markets including Europe, Central and Latin America, Middle East, South East Asia, Japan, and the SAARC nations. The export lineup consists of 19 models that fulfil country-specific homologation and other norms.
