New Delhi, 01 June, 2021: Honda Cars India Ltd. (HCIL), leading manufacturer of passenger cars
in India, despatched 2 032 units in domestic market in May 2021 amidst the prevailing second
wave of COVID-19 and state-wide lockdowns in the country.
Commenting on the business situation in May 2021, Mr. Rajesh Goel, Sr. Vice President and
Director, Marketing & Sales, Honda Cars India Ltd said, “Multiple state-wide lockdowns
throughout the country to control the spike in COVID-19 infections in May 2021 impacted retail
business. During last month, we also undertook extended maintenance related shutdown of our
factory leading to limited production but effectively breaking the chain amidst high number of
cases in north India. With increase in pace of vaccination and the declining cases, we expect
markets will open gradually allowing business continuity.” “Our field teams are in constant touch
with our waiting customers and prospects to facilitate their car purchase through digital
mediums. We will closely monitor the on ground situation with our dealer partners to understand
the consumer sentiment and accordingly plan our production and supplies in coming months.”
HCIL exported 385 units in the month of May’21.
The company had sold 375 units in domestic market in May 2020 during the operational
restrictions of the COVID led national lockdown last year.
