    Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI), which is the wholly-owned subsidiary of Japanese Honda Motor Company, is looking forward to set up its second plant outside Haryana after it was it by labour unrest and production delays in the state for over three months starting July. HMSI is also considering various options to increase it's production capacity beyond 15 lakh two-wheelers, which it is likely to exhaust by the next fiscal-end. The company has undertaken a feasibility study in a way to evaluate all the options to set up a greenfield plant. It is also considering expanding its first plant in Manesar, Haryana. The plan to set up second plant outside Haryana is part of the strategy to de-risk its business out of single manufacturing location. Rico Auto, the autoparts maker that faced a month-long labour problem, is also planning to move some of its businesses out of Haryana. HMSI president and CEO Shinji Aoyama said, "We do not rule out the possibility of moving to the south or west, but ideally, we should stick to north India where we have a fully developed supplier base and logistic set-up. Industrial unrest is widespread in India and we can face similar problems anywhere in the country." Due to massive drop in production Honda had faced persistent labour trouble at its two-wheeler plant in Manesar between July and October suffering financial losses of over Rs 300 crore. As per the operating officer of Honda Asia Oceania, M Takedagawa, Honda Siel set up a second plant for Honda cars at Tapukara in Rajasthan to take advantage of the supplier base at its first plant in Greater Noida. Honda CB Twister and the clutchless bike TVS Jive have been recently launched in India.

      I took a test drive and it was super comfortable and was into my budget. It is affordable and the build quality is good and that is why I choose it and the colour options are also good. Mileage is great. It gives pretty smooth drive experience and I liked it, the breaks were smooth, neither too hard nor too soft. And I can drive it easily. Its weight is also easy to handle. I can comfortably lift the scooter on my own. Yes, I will surely recommend this bike and I have already recommended to my relatives. I have its blue colour which looks awesome. It is pretty good and I actually like it. The inside storage is also pretty decent to store so many things and the button nob for petrol is also good.
