Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt Ltd announced on Saturday that it exported 2,630 two-wheelers in April 2020. However, the domestic sales of the Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer were zero due to the nationwide blockade that has been in place since March 25)
Honda has suspended its four production facilities and suspended operations from March 22 until now in accordance with government-issued closure guidelines. Not only Honda, this is the case of all the main automobile manufacturers in the country. All manufacturing plants and dealerships were closed in April 2020 due to the imposition of the national blockade.
To explain how Honda joins its business partners as it prepares for the disruptive future, Yadvinder Singh Guleria, Director of Sales and Marketing, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. said: “Since suspending operations in this unprecedented crisis Honda is taking firm steps for business continuity, safeguarding the health and well-being of staff, families, and communities at large. We have alleviated the anxiety of our business partners and improved their cash flows through a rapid infusion of liquidity. By promoting #StayHomeStaySafe to our customers, we have already extended the free service and warranty period for another 2 months. “

In addition to the discussion, he said: “In parallel as a responsible manufacturer, Honda is extensively recalibrating all of its SOPs, not only within the company but also across the ecosystem; from the point of view of personnel and workplace safety in the COVID-19 era. At the same time, during the lockdown, we continue to train HMSI and dealer staff with various e-learning modules. Preparations continue to resume operations after receiving respective government approvals while realigning with supply chain constraints and evolving market sentiments. ”
It goes without saying that the auto industry has become one of the biggest victims of the ongoing blockade imposed by the coronavirus pandemic. The Government, however, is looking for ways where commercial activities can begin. Therefore, some manufacturing facilities outside of the Red Zone are permitted to carry out their operations on a limited basis with a limited workforce. Even when the blockade is lifted, manufacturers don’t expect an increase in vehicle sales because people will avoid going to dealerships just yet. Furthermore, even car production will also remain low initially due to possible component shortages.
