Honda Cars India is set to manufacture its first electric vehicle in India, the Honda 0 Alpha, with an investment of around ₹1,200 crore at its Tapukara plant in Rajasthan.
The move marks a major step in Honda’s entry into India’s fast-growing electric vehicle (EV) market, where it has so far focused mainly on hybrid technology.
The 0 Alpha electric SUV is expected to be locally produced, reinforcing India’s role as a key manufacturing hub for Honda’s global EV strategy.
Production is likely to begin ahead of its anticipated launch around 2027, positioning the model to compete in the rapidly expanding compact electric SUV segment.
The investment will also support local manufacturing, job creation, and EV ecosystem development, aligning with India’s broader push toward sustainable mobility and reduced carbon emissions.
Honda’s EV push signals a stronger commitment to electrification as competition intensifies with rivals like Tata Motors, Hyundai, and Mahindra already expanding their electric portfolios in India.
