Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India has breached the 50,000 sales mark for the first time on Day 1 of Navratri.
Overall, Honda’s retails grew by 122% from 23,702 units in 2016 to over 52,000 units in 2017. Mr. Yadvinder Singh Guleria, Senior Vice President - Sales & Marketing, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd., commented:
By strategically advancing the start of the new assembly line (in Karnataka plant), Honda’s production has increased by additional 50,000 two-wheelers per month ahead of the auspicious period. This has given our dealers a big advantage of being better prepared to meet festive demand this time. In parallel, Honda’s aggressive network expansion, 360 degree marketing campaigns, new model launches and attractive festive schemes before festive season has given us wings to grow at a faster pace and prepare for 2017 festive period like never before. As a trend, we are seeing huge spike in our customer walk-ins and overall retails in every festival, be it Ganesh Chaturthi, Onam or even the beginning of Navratri.
