Is the Honda City Hybrid stepping into local assembly? 

A few months back, a media report claimed that Honda Cars India is actively considering locally assembling the strong hybrid powertrain in India, thereby benefitting from lower tax impositions. In an interaction with Autocar India, Takuya Tsumura, Honda Cars India president and CEO, said, “At this moment, we are thinking about a strong hybrid. There will be a plug-in hybrid option in specific markets, which is costly in India. We have to consider what is the best fit in India’s context, and at present, it is strong hybrids”. This steep price cut of around Rs 1 lakh could be an indication of local assembly of the City Hybrid, however, nothing has been revealed officially by Honda Cars India.
