Honda to Invest Rs 15 Billion in Tapukara Plant Expansion

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has announced an investment of around Rs 15 billion to set up a third production line at its Tapukara manufacturing plant in Rajasthan. The new line is expected to commence operations in 2028 and will add an annual production capacity of 670,000 units, taking the factory’s total capacity to 2.01 million units per year.

The expansion is also expected to create more than 2,000 jobs in the region. The company said the new line will be highly flexible and capable of producing commuter segment scooters and motorcycles, helping it respond more effectively to market demand and strengthen its supply chain resilience.

HMSI President and CEO Tsutsumu Otani said India is entering a new phase of mobility transformation and described the Tapukara expansion as an important step towards greater flexibility and future readiness. With the third line at Tapukara and the planned fourth line at its Vithalapur plant in Gujarat, HMSI’s total annual production capacity in India is projected to increase from 6.25 million units to about 8 million units by FY28.

The Tapukara facility began operations in July 2011 with a capacity of 0.6 million units, which was expanded to 1.2 million units in March 2012. Through automation and production efficiency improvements introduced since 2023, the plant’s current annual capacity stands at 1.3 million units, with plans to raise it further to 1.34 million units by FY26.
