June 2025 saw Honda Cars India navigate contrasting trends in domestic and export markets. Domestic car dispatches rose month-on-month but slipped 3.9% compared to June 2024.
Exports plunged 89.8% as global shipments were realigned for upcoming launches. Inventory management and hybrid model anticipation drove Honda’s strategic pacing.
Honda Cars India registered total sales of 5,124 units in June 2025, down 47.6% year-on-year but up 29.7% month-on-month. Domestic dispatches stood at 4,618 units, a 3.9% decline from June 2024, yet a 16.9% rise over May 2025, driven largely by City and WR-V models1.
Exports fell sharply to 506 units, reflecting an 89.8% year-on-year drop as global shipments were realigned for upcoming launches.
Strategic inventory management amid cautious consumer sentiment and monsoon seasonality shaped these figures.
The mixed results underscore Honda’s focus on pacing dispatches ahead of a busy festive period.
The dispatch pattern in June highlights diverging domestic and export trends. Honda Cars India moved 4,618 units locally, marking a 16.9% MoM gain over May’s 3,950 units, bolstered by strong City sedan and WR-V SUV enquiries.
Year-on-year, domestic volumes dipped 3.9% from 4,804 units in June 2024, as Amaze and Elevate models faced softer showroom traffic1.
Exports to overseas markets were curbed to 506 units, flat month-on-month but down 89.8% YoY, due to production shifts and supplier reconfigurations.
Overall wholesales of 5,124 units reflect Honda’s calibrated dispatch strategy against fluctuating demand and supply-chain dynamics.
Honda Cars India’s June performance splits into domestic, export and total dispatch figures, showing clear YoY and MoM shifts. Domestic sales exhibited MoM strength, while exports bore the brunt of strategic realignments.
Total wholesales reflect the net of these opposing forces, set against seasonal and model-launch factors. Year-on-year declines position HCIL below its June 2024 performance, yet the monthly uptick hints at inventory normalization. Dealer feedback points to strong interest in upcoming hybrids and SUV variants.
Category | Units | YoY Change | MoM Change |
---|---|---|---|
Domestic Dispatches | 4,618 | –3.9% | 0.169 |
Exports | 506 | –89.8% | 0.00% |
Total Wholesales | 5,124 | –47.6% | 0.297 |
Honda’s near-term roadmap hinges on its multi-energy strategy, with affordable hybrids on the PF2 platform due by Diwali 2025. A next-generation City sedan and three-row SUV are slated to broaden the portfolio in the Rs. 15 lakh bracket3.
An Elevate-based EV launch in early 2026 will mark Honda’s full-electric entry, supported by local battery-pack assembly. Dealer pre-booking trends for these models show robust enthusiasm, indicating potential market share gains.
Success will depend on streamlined supply chains, competitive pricing and timely model rollouts.
