Gurugram,
4 January 2018: Honda
Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. (HMSI) has closed
the calendar year 2017 with historic sales on back of sustained
demand for its two-wheelers.
On
a growth overdrive in 2017, Honda makes new records:
For
the first time in its 17 years of Indian operations, Honda’s
two-wheeler sales have surpassed 5 million sales mark in a single
calendar year!
Honda sold a total of 5,794,893 units in Jan to Dec 2017.
Paralelly,
Honda’s
exports grew by a phenomenal 29%
- strengthening its position as India’s 3rd
largest two-wheeler exporter.
Commenting
on Honda’s performance in 2017 and outlook for FY’2017-18, Mr.
Yadvinder Singh Guleria, Senior Vice President - Sales &
Marketing, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. said,
“Looking
back, 2017 was the year of disruption for the industry. Accelerated
customer buying shift within segments saw scooters becoming popular
in the traditionally motorcycle dominated states too. New capacity
expansion, 3 new product launches and increased network penetration
in tier II and tier III markets resulted in Honda successfully
breaching the 5 million sales mark for the first time in 2017. We
thank all our customers for choosing a Honda, with the promise that
we will keep innovating ahead of their expectations.
Moving ahead, we are confident of meeting our target of 6.0 million
unit sales in 2017-18.”
