Ngokwemibiko yabezindaba yakwaHonda Motor izokwehlisa ukukhiqizwa kwezimoto zaseNdiya ezinamasondo amane ngo-40% bese ivala imboni ekhiqiza izimoto. KwaHonda banezimboni ezimbili zokukhiqiza izimoto eNdiya. Lolu bhubhane seluphoqe amafekthri ukuthi akhiqize amandla amancane, kanti ukuthengiswa kwezimoto zamaNdiya kushayeke kakhulu. Ngokuhlanganisa imboni yaseNdiya, iHonda ihlose ukukhulisa ukusebenza kahle. Ngesikhathi salesi sinqumo, abakwaHonda bafuna ukunciphisa umthamo oweqile emhlabeni jikelele, ngenhloso yokukhulisa inzuzo yebhizinisi lezimoto.

Imboni yakwaHonda ezovalwa itholakala eNoida, Uttar Pradesh, India. Le fektri yakhiwa ngo-1997 futhi inamandla okukhiqiza ngonyaka wezimoto eziyi-100,000. I-ultra-compact car Metropolis ingenye yezimoto ezibalulekile ezikhiqizwa kule fektri. Kusukela lapho, konke ukukhiqizwa kwe-Honda e-India kuzoqedwa embonini ebuyekeziwe ye-Tapukara e-Rajasthan.

Izitshalo ezimbili zakwaHonda eNdiya zinamandla okukhiqiza aminyaka yonke wezimoto ezingu-280,000. Kodwa-ke, cishe izimoto ezingama-98,000 zizokhiqizwa ngonyaka wezimali ka-2019. Isabelo semakethe sakwaHonda eNdiya singu-3.7%, sisele ngemuva kweMaruti Suzuki neHyundai, okuyisibalo esingu-51.7% no-17.6% emakethe ngokulandelana.

Ukushintsha komsebenzi wokukhiqiza kukaHonda kushaye uNdunankulu waseNdiya uNarendra Modi ohlelweni "lwenziwe eNdiya", okuhloswe ngalo ukuguqula i-India ibe isikhungo sokukhiqiza. Njengamanje, njengoba iJapan ifuna ukunciphisa ukuncika kwayo eChina futhi ihlukanise uchungechunge lwayo lokuhlinzeka, i-India izimisele kakhulu ukuheha izinkampani zaseJapan ukuthi zitshale imali kuleli.

Ngaphansi kobuholi balowo owayeyi-CEO u-Takanobu Ito, i-Honda inomgomo onesibindi nonamandla wokudayisa izimoto eziyizigidi ezingu-6 emhlabeni wonke minyaka yonke futhi isungule noma yandise izimboni emhlabeni jikelele. Ngo-2014, iHonda yaqala ukusebenza ngokugcwele kwesitshalo sayo sesibili eNdiya, isitshalo seTapukara. Kodwa-ke, lokhu kunwetshwa nezindleko kuyishaye kakhulu inzuzo yakwaHonda, kwehlisa imajini yenzuzo yebhizinisi lezimoto yenkampani yaba ngu-1.5% onyakeni wezimali ka-2019 (ngaphandle komkhakha wezezimali).
Umgomo we-CEO wamanje we-Honda u-Takahiro Hachigo uwukuthuthukisa ukusebenza futhi uvale amafekthri ayo e-Sayama, e-Japan nase-Swindon, e-UK. Emakethe esezingeni eliphezulu, abakwaHonda baphinde bamisa ukukhiqizwa kwezimoto ePhilippines nase-Argentina.
