Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI), the Indian subsidiary of Honda Motor Co., has announced plans to expand its manufacturing operations by adding a fourth assembly line at its Vithalapur plant in Ahmedabad district, Gujarat.
Scheduled to begin operations in 2027, the new production line will add 650,000 units to the plant’s annual capacity. This expansion will raise the total output at the Vithalapur facility to 2.61 million units per year, making it the largest Honda motorcycle production plant globally.
HMSI currently operates four manufacturing plants across India with a combined annual capacity of 6.14 million units. In April 2025, the company achieved a significant milestone, recording 70 million units of cumulative production since it began manufacturing in India in 2001.
This latest investment reflects Honda’s continued confidence in the Indian two-wheeler market and its commitment to scaling up operations to meet both domestic and export demand.
