With eight Honda two-wheelers being sold every minute, they have invested Rs 1,100 crore and are working hard to get their fourth and the world’s largest scooter plant in Ahmedabad up and running. In addition to this, their aggressive marketing campaign, ‘Honda is Honda’ was well-received and has won them a number of accolades.

On the product front, the manufacturer launched three new products and three new upgrades in 2014. They will begin delivering the recently launched CB160 Unicorn in January. The company has also expanded to 3,400 outlets, including their 800th dealership in the country.

Commenting on the growth, Keita Muramatsu – President & CEO, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India said, “Honda grew at 25% in this fiscal year and gained customer trust in 2014.
