India’s electric two-wheeler market is expanding rapidly, offering consumers a plethora of options. Despite the availability of various electric scooters from numerous competitors, there is keen interest in when Honda will launch its first electric scooter in India.
Honda Activa’s Popularity:
Honda Activa remains the best-selling scooter in India, widely favored among consumers. However, the rising trend of electric vehicles suggests that electric scooters are set to become even more popular. Presently, consumers are increasingly opting for electric scooters over petrol scooters due to their benefits and growing market support.
Honda’s Global Electric Initiatives:
Globally, Honda has already launched an electric scooter, which is performing well in international markets. The scooter, named SC E, was introduced at the Japan Mobility Show and has caught significant attention due to its stylish design and features. Despite its success, it remains uncertain if this model will be brought to the Indian market.
Future Plans for India:
According to recent updates, Honda has started the production of the Activa Electric scooter in India and is planning to launch it by 2025. This move could be a strategic response to the booming demand for electric vehicles in the country.
Production Capacity Increase:
Honda has reportedly increased its two-wheeler production capacity in its Gujarat and Karnataka plants, including adding two new manufacturing lines. These expansions hint at Honda’s serious intentions to capture a significant share of the electric two-wheeler market in India.
