Seems like the weird looking scooter from Honda is soon going to take over the Indian two-wheeler scooter segment. Yes, we are talking about Honda Navi here. Since the launch, the company has retailed more than 10,000 units and the production has doubled now due to its high demand. HMSI (Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India) is boosting up the production at its Tapukara plant in Rajasthan. Navi will cover 35 cities all over the country by July end.
Honda Navi does not have a sales target owing to its positioning (the Navi is creating a new segment in the Indian two-wheeler industry), said Mr. YS Guleria, Senior VP (Sales and Marketing), HMSI, after its unveil at the Auto Expo 2016.
