Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has announced that since the re-opening of its network outlets in a phased manner on May 4 and resuming despatches this week, the retail sales momentum has started building up.

Meanwhile, in the same time, nearly 250,000 Honda customers got their two-wheelers serviced at Honda dealerships and authorised service outlets across India.

Safeguarding people's health and well-being, the Honda network is well equipped and geared to delight customers. With ready availability of six of India’s BS VI products, we are seeing increasing offtake in retails by the day. Growing numbers of vehicles reporting at our touch-points for servicing is a testimony to customers’ trust and assurance in Honda and our network readiness to serve them while taking care of new hygiene and social distancing norms.”
