Commenting on the occasion, Yuichi Murata, Director, Marketing and Sales, Honda Cars India Limited said, “The year 2022 has been positive for HCIL as our domestic volume grew by seven per cent and export volume by 43 per cent. Honda City and Amaze continue to drive volumes for HCIL and have posted a strong performance in the year 2022. We had to realign our targets due to chip shortage which impacted our production throughout the year. We have stepped into the new year 2023 with renewed optimism assured by the positive performance of last year. As the overall environment continues to be encouraging and positive, the key to success will also depend on how the disruptions like chip shortage are controlled to minimise business impact.”
