Speaking on the sales growth, Yadvinder Singh Guleria, director - sales and marketing, HMSI, said, "FY21 was a year of unprecedented uncertainties. Honda resiliently overcame challenges from lockdowns to unlocks, while continuing to create many new firsts. India became the epicenter of Honda's 2 global unveilings (H'ness CB 350, CB350 RS) and followed this with the scintillating Indian debut of CB500X and CB650R. Noteworthy, that leading the recovery as the highest growth driver of the two-wheeler industry in Q4, 2021 has started on an optimistic note for Honda."
