Shinji Aoyama, Operating Officer and Director, Chief Operating Officer, Motorcycle Operations, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. said: "India plays a key role for Honda's motorcycle business. Today, 25% of the total Honda two-wheelers sold across the world come from India. Driven by the visionary growth-centric outlook of the Government, there is an increased focus on investing in roads and infrastructure. These factors imply that the best days for the scooter market in India, are yet to come!"

Keita Muramatsu - President & CEO, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd., said: "Increasing Scooterization, a trend seen earlier in developed markets of the world, is the key driver for Indian motorcycle industry today. Leading this change from the front is Honda - the undisputed market leader in this segment in India with a market-share of 56% and growing. Gujarat is an extremely productive market for Honda. As we gear up to take up this challenge of meeting the customer demand, Gujarat is an ideal home and a springboard to achieve greater heights. "
