Honda’s Export History

The first 50,000 units were exported primarily to neighbouring SAARC countries, South Africa and SADC countries till 2021. The next 50,000 units export followed in 2.5 years, expanding the company’s reach to Left Hand Drive markets in the Middle East, Mexico, and Turkey for the Honda City. In recent years, HCIL has seen a significant jump in export volume, and the next 100,000 units export was achieved in 2 years, driven by the demand for its mid-size SUV Elevate in new markets of Japan, South America, and Caribbean nations.
