NEW DELHI — Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) on Saturday said its
total sales for 2024 stood at 58,01,498 units, registering a 32 per cent growth
(year-on-year) over 2023.
This included domestic sales of 52,92,976 units and
5,08,522 units exports last year.
For the month of December, the total sale stood at
3,08,083 units. This included domestic sales of 2,70,919 units and 37,164 units
exports, the company said in a statement.
HMSI said it has accomplished an achievement of 6 crore
domestic sales in the country.
In another step towards bolstering the ‘Make in India’
initiative, HMSI inaugurated a new third assembly line at its fourth
two-wheeler plant at Vithalapur in Gujarat.
The company also added a new state-of-the-art engine assembly
line at its global resource factory in Manesar, Gurugram, with a focus on CKD
(completely knocked down) exports.
HMSI also introduced 'ACTIVA e:' and 'QC1' in the
electric vehicle (EV) segment.
“Bookings for the same began on January 1, 2025, and their
deliveries will commence from February 2025 onwards. The prices of these
all-new electric scooters will be revealed at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo
later this month,” said the company.
The automaker said it has launched the ‘OBD2B’ compliant
models of Activa 125, SP125, SP160, and Unicorn with advanced features.
Starting its retail operations in June 2001, Honda has
been delighting the Indian customers for over two decades.
Additionally, Honda’s 125cc motorcycles ‘Shine &
SP125’ crossed over 30 lakh customers in eastern India.
The company also announced its remarkable feat of
crossing 10 million customer mark for Activa in southern India.
Driven by rising private consumption and disposable
incomes, India saw vehicle retail sales increase by at least 9 per cent in 2024
(year-on-year) to cross 26 million units. This surpasses the pre-Covid peak of
25.4 million units in a single year in 2018.
