Honda Bikes intend to be powered by auto components from India

Honda bikes are now expected to be powered by auto components sourced from India.

Now Honda intends to make India as its global sourcing hub for its models across the globe. It will be new step from the company to gain competitive advantage in the two-wheelers segment. EKO bikes are the newly launched bikes in India.
