The company is setting up aggressive marketing plan to establish itself as mass bike manufacturer.

Honda is also developing a 100cc bike for Asian market including India that will be priced somewhere around Rs 27,000. It is also reported to improve its dealer network to make available its bikes across India. The exciting fact comes out is Honda might outrun TVS Motors that is enjoying third place in two-wheeler sales.

It may obtain long time to grab the third place but Honda scores over TVS when compared with technology and brand name.

The Honda India might sit on the no. 3 position in the upcoming financial years, as HMSI sales has crossed 1 million mark with the sales of 1.08 million units during April to November 2010 period while TVS Motors has sold 1.3 million units so this aim is not impossible for HMSI. It seems like HMSI will continuously post higher sales growth till the end of this financial year.
