Diesel models will continue to be an important part of Honda’s product range in India in the BS-VI regime, even with market clearly shifting towards petrol vehicles, a senior company official said.
The automaker, which is present in the country through a wholly owned subsidiary, aims to keep offering diesel trims in four of its models out of the total six products it currently sells in the country.
“Although there is an increasing shift in market preference towards petrol, but we believe that the demand for diesel will not vanish immediately,” Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL) Senior Vice President and Director (Marketing and Sales) Rajesh Goel told news agency Press Trust of India.
