Honda Cars India Year-on-Year Domestic Sales Dip by 42.67% in November

Honda sold 10,726 cars in November 2024, showing a 9.80% decrease from last year’s 11,891 units. Of the total, the Elevate manufacturer supplied 5,005 units in the domestic market, 3,725 units fewer than the 8,730 units sold in the same month the previous year. This led to a huge YoY drop of 42.67%. However, with a staggering 80.99% increase, the exports were a contributing factor to the shortfall. In contrast to the 3,161 vehicles shipped in November 2023, the automaker exported 5,721 units last month. 

Honda recently launched the third-generation Amaze in India at a starting price of Rs 8 lakh (ex-showroom). The first-generation model went on sale in April 2013, followed by the second-generation model in May 2018. According to Honda, the sedan has sold about 5.80 lakh units in our market to date. It accounts for 40% of the company's total sales in India.

Kunal Behl, Vice President of Marketing & Sales, at Honda Cars India Ltd., said, 'There is a lot of excitement among customers for the new Amaze highlighting a strong market connection for the brand. On the other hand, our exports have been growing backed by strong demand for Elevate in export markets.'
