Honda Cars India stays the course with EVs and Hybrids amid global strategy shifts
Honda Cars India's current portfolio includes models like the City, Elevate and the Amaze along with the City eHEV. Notify me Even as Honda Motor globally fine-tunes its clean mobility strategy with a renewed emphasis on hybrids alongside electric vehicles, its Indian subsidiary is charting a steady, no-panic course to 2030. For Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL), the goal is clear- to move towards cleaner fuel. The roadmap is practical—a balanced mix of petrol, hybrid, and battery-electric powertrains. In a recent interaction with HT Auto, Kunal Behl, Vice President, Marketing & Sales at Honda Cars India, emphasized that despite evolving global priorities, the company's commitments in India remain firmly on track. 'We always planned a phased transition, starting with the discontinuation of diesel, followed by introducing strong hybrids, and now gearing up for a full EV rollout," he added. Global winds, local anchors The global narrative may be swinging between battery electric and hybrid models as automakers grapple with demand fluctuations, charging infra gaps, and raw material costs. Yet for HCIL, the path forward remains rooted in consistency. The Elevate-based EV project announced earlier is evolving into a standalone SUV over four metres in length, set to debut in FY26. This will mark Honda's first play in India's mass-market EV segment. Also Read : Honda scales back EV goals, shifts focus to hybrids amid global EV slowdown What's driving this multi-pronged approach is realism. 'Customer preference depends on convenience—charging station availability, taxation benefits, and daily usage patterns," Behl pointed out. In metros with a decent charging ecosystem, an EV makes sense. In other cities, hybrids remain a pragmatic choice. 'Our aim is to offer three clear solutions—petrol, hybrid, and electric—so every customer finds what works best for their lifestyle," he explained. Strong hybrids, stronger legacy Honda, of course, is no stranger to hybrids. From the Civic and Accord to the current City e:HEV, the Japanese carmaker was among the early evangelists of this technology in India. 'We've seen hybrid sales account for up to 30 per cent in markets like Uttar Pradesh, where tax benefits are similar to BEVs," says Behl. Nationwide, strong hybrids contribute around 11 per cent to sales. Also watch: Honda City e:HEV Hybrid: First Drive Review Going forward, Honda plans to broaden its hybrid offerings beyond sedans. The larger SUV strategy—five models by 2030—is already in motion. The Elevate was the first, the upcoming EV SUV is the second, while details of the next three remain under wraps for now. However, it is anticipated that the upcoming three SUVs will feature either an electric or a hybrid powertrain. CNG: An opportunistic play, not a strategic pivot Interestingly, Honda has also dipped a cautious toe into the CNG pool—albeit through third-party retrofitted kits. Starting with the Amaze and now extended to the Elevate, the move seems more reactive than strategic. 'The response to the retrofit kits has been good in specific markets," Behl admits, 'but this isn't a long-term powertrain direction for us." Unlike rivals who have factory-fitted CNG models as portfolio mainstays, Honda is resisting that detour. 'Factory-fit CNG requires a shift in production strategy. Our focus right now is on launching our battery-electric vehicle on time. We don't want to lose sight of that," he added. The message is clear- while CNG may offer incremental sales in select regions, it's not part of Honda's clean-fuel blueprint. Kunal Behl, Vice President, Marketing & Sales at Honda Cars India, has stated that the company is on course to move towards cleaner fuel with a balanced mix of hybrids, EVs, and petrol models CBUs: Low volume, high value Completely built units (CBUs) are also part of the larger equation—but here again, Honda is realistic. These imported models aren't about sales volumes. They serve a different purpose, explained Behl. 'CBUs showcase our global technology and premium brand value to Indian consumers." From earlier imports like the Honda Accord Hybrid to potential future launches, Honda's CBU strategy is brand-led. However, India's steep import duties remain a deterrent. 'The current taxation structure makes CBUs aspirational, not accessible," Behl noted. Still, they play a crucial role in positioning—offering a halo effect that supports the brand's premium aspirations. Exports: Strategic, not central If there's one model that has quietly expanded Honda Cars India's global footprint, it's the Honda Elevate. Developed primarily for the domestic market, it has unexpectedly found appeal in international territories—Japan, Latin America, and, more recently, select Caribbean nations. 'Our core idea has always been 'local production for local consumption'. But when a product performs well at home and fits the needs of international markets, it makes sense to extend its reach," Bhel explained. That's precisely what Elevate has enabled. Built at Honda's Tapukara facility in Rajasthan, the SUV now anchors the brand's growing export portfolio. However, Behl is careful to set expectations. 'Export is a valuable piece of the business puzzle—it improves the overall business constitution—but it remains supplementary. Our core focus is still the domestic market." Also Read : Honda Elevate exports surge, Amaze strengthens as FY25 sales hit 1.26 lakh units This approach is deliberate. Honda isn't chasing volumes abroad for the sake of boosting numbers. Instead, it's strategically evaluating which India-developed products can find resonance globally. The success of Elevate may open the door for other SUVs in the upcoming five-model lineup to be considered for export, but not at the cost of Indian market prioritization. It's encouraging, but not defining, Behl sums up. 'We don't design in India just for the world. We design for India—and if the world wants in, we welcome that." Growth Regions: Going deeper, not just wider At the heart of Honda Cars India's growth ambition lies a textbook yet tailored approach—Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. But it's not strategy for strategy's sake. It's being used to reposition the brand within a more premium orbit. 'In terms of place, we already have a footprint across 170 Tier-III towns with over 300 outlets," says Behl. Expansion is being driven by targeted market analysis, identifying towns and cities where Honda's physical presence and after-sales infrastructure need bolstering. On the product front, the immediate focus is to fill the EV void. 'That's why we're working aggressively to bring our battery electric vehicle in the next fiscal," Behl explained. Simultaneously, Honda has committed to rolling out five SUVs by 2030, with Elevate and the upcoming EV leading the charge. Pricing strategy, meanwhile, is aligned with delivering value through advanced safety features and technologies—without diluting brand equity. Promotion, too, has evolved. Rather than leaning solely on volume-focused campaigns, Honda is betting big on digital-first, consultative experiences. Its 'Honda Expert Connect'—a live, one-on-one virtual showroom experience—underscores the company's commitment to offering a premium customer journey even before a foot is set inside a dealership. Also Read : Honda Amaze: The sedan that refuses to shout, but quietly delivers This multi-pronged strategy is underpinned by a clear identity shift. 'We discontinued some mass-market models because our intent is to be seen as a premium brand," Behl noted. That means not just refining the product lineup, but also elevating everything around it—from showroom ambience and digital tools to variant packaging and after-sales experience. The result- in models like Elevate and Amaze, a majority of buyers are now opting for ADAS-equipped top trims, validating Honda's move up the value chain. Customers see value in safety and tech. That aligns perfectly with where we want the Honda brand to be, Behl explained. Looking ahead In a sluggish passenger vehicle market where discounts and flashy launches often mask tepid consumer sentiment, Honda's approach stands out for its restraint—and resilience. The company's strategy is neither aggressive nor defensive—it's deliberate. Focus on hybrids and EVs continues. CNG is observed, not embraced. CBUs are leveraged for image, not impact. And exports are important, but domestic remains sacrosanct.

Who is Tijjani Reijnders, Manchester City's latest signing?
Manchester City capped a $150 million transfer spree ahead of the Club World Cup by signing Netherlands midfielder Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan on Wednesday. Reijnders, 26, joined for an initial fee of €55 million ($63 million) and is the second midfielder — after France playmaker Rayan Cherki — to arrive during the special June 1–10 transfer window, created to let Club World Cup teams reshape their squads. City also signed Algeria left-back Rayan Aït-Nouri from Wolverhampton for $42 million and paid Lyon $41 million for Cherki. Having opted against pursuing Germany playmaker Florian Wirtz — reportedly close to joining Liverpool — City ended up spending roughly the same amount across three players. This latest splurge follows a $200 million outlay in the winter window, taking City's 2025 spending to over $350 million as the club reloads under Pep Guardiola in its bid to reclaim the Premier League title from Liverpool. Reijnders was recently named Serie A's best midfielder after a breakout season in which he scored 15 goals and registered five assists across competitions for a struggling Milan side that missed out on European qualification. He had joined Milan from AZ Alkmaar in 2023 for about €20 million and recently signed a new contract through 2030 — the same term he's signed with City. City is also preparing to part ways with Kevin De Bruyne, ending his decade-long spell at the club. Reijnders and Cherki are expected to link up with Rodri in a refreshed midfield. Reijnders said he was 'ecstatic' to join City: 'It's a dream come true to play in the Premier League. Many top Dutch players have starred here, and it's inspiring to follow in their footsteps.' Director of football Hugo Viana said Reijnders, known for his ball-carrying ability, would bring 'extra energy, composure and creativity' to the midfield. City announced the transfer a day after the special window closed but reportedly completed the deal in time for Reijnders to feature in the expanded 32-team Club World Cup, which starts Saturday. City is grouped with Juventus, Al Ain, and Wydad Casablanca, and opens its campaign on June 18. Related Topics Manchester City
