Speaking on the occasion, Yuichi Murata, Director, Marketing and Sales, Honda Cars India, said, “The year 2021 continued to be a challenging year with the ongoing pandemic, but I think we learnt to cope much better with it. Despite the COVID19 pandemic and supply-side challenges, HCIL domestic volumes grew by 26 per cent in 2021 with the strong performance of our best sellers Amaze and City. The addition of new export destinations for Honda City to left-hand-drive markets boosted our exports significantly last year. Our December despatches were in line with our production output which continued to be impacted by global chip shortage.”
