Just like the increase in sales in the month of June, this first quarter increase in sales can also be attributed to the likes of the Honda Amaze. But the Amaze isn't the only car that Honda Cars India will be launching in this financial year. At the 2018 Indian Auto Expo, Honda had announced that it will launch the new CR-V and more importantly, the highly anticipated and awaited new Honda Civic in India by the end of the financial year. The launch of the Civic should boost sales figures even further.
