Exports will help Honda increase sales and leverage its manufacturing setup in India
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has revealed its plans of establishing India as its newest Overseas Business Expansion Center. Dubbed ‘Making in India for the World,’ the new export vertical will be headquartered at the brand’s Manesar facility. Honda claims it will work closely with all its 100+ pan-India associates to ‘strategically integrate SEDBQ (Sales, Engineering, Development, Purchasing & Quality) functions under one roof.’
HMSI’s two-wheeler portfolio currently comprises 19 BS6-compliant offerings, including motorcycles, scooters, and big bikes. The Honda Dio currently tops the charts as the most-exported model from the HMSI stable. The brand currently exports to 35 markets across Europe, Central and Latin America, Middle East, South-East Asia, Japan, and SAARC nations.

Speaking on Honda 2Wheelers India’s vision for the new overseas business expansion, Atsushi Ogata, MD & CEO, HMSI, said, “With an eye on the future, Honda 2Wheelers India aims to further consolidate its lead in Honda’s global motorcycle business while unlocking the next chapter of ‘Make in India, for India & the World’ in the BS6 era. With this major organisational restructuring, the company is strengthening its business constitution and improving competitiveness to meet the high expectations from Global Honda.”
HMSI started exports in 2001 with the Activa, and the figure had hit a whopping 25 lakh as of January 2020. Since then, though, the worldwide pandemic caused a lull, with 2,09,708 units exported from April 2020 to March 2021, an estimated 35.72 percent less than the preceding year when 3,26,369 units were sold (SIAM figures).
However, with the addition of the CB350 duo (H’Ness and ’RS) to the export roster and Honda now centralising its export functions, we will undoubtedly see an uptick in the upcoming year.

Excellent bike with smooth performance, great mileage, and low maintenance. The Honda Shine is comfortable for daily commuting and reliable for long-term use. I’ve had a very good ownership experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for a practical and dependable bike. This is one of the all rounder in two wheeler.Read More
I already had a Honda Shine 125 cc which was working better, keeping that in mind, I bought my second Honda Shine 125 cc in November 2025, but I felt that the quality was compromised in it. Earlier I used to praise Honda's engine a lot, but not anymore. My first Honda Shine was running very well so I did not buy it whereas my new bike is having a lot of problems like engine oil leakage and gear shifting and I am very sad to see that. Now I will not tell anyone to buy Honda Shine. Compared to the old Honda Shine, the new Honda shine is made of very poor quality. The metal used in it is also of very poor quality. The engine is losing oil very fast and the gears in the gearbox are also slipping.Read More

Honda shine has so many features that every person required, It's about long run and its been kind to us, i mean honda reliability is pretty good, its basic but gives good mileage, pretty everything nothing extra thats it for me. Its been pretty good i mean its has issues like power dop that gear shifting becomes a ritual for this low cc bikes cant argue, but long rides feels so smother and good definetly smoother point thats it. yeah, if youre riding in rural and urban areas it goes both ways smoother rides on the flats roads, never had a issue with thing except for the fact it looks so basic, and i can get over it, thats me except its pretty good.Read More
