This new civic part is produced at Surajpur in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh Company’s production plant. Honda has a capacity to produce at around 100,000 units every year. Since 1948, there has been several expansions with time and has made cars like the Accord and previous civic. The second plant is at Tapukara in Rajasthan’s Alwar district that has the capacity of around 180,000 units. Here the Amaze has been made that has proven to be a big hit for Honda. The WR-V and its alter ego-Jazz, the BR-V are some units of the city. But the production of Brio has been stopped somehow. India is only one of 10 of those locations where this car is made. Though India gets only the sedan and not the hatchback or even the Coupe, but not all these locations produce both petrol and diesel. In overall 20 % of the car production is of diesel variant in Greater Noida and 80% the bulk of the production holds the petrol variant. This is because of the demand the company has seen through their bookings.
