The platform is expected to support several models using petrol, hybrid and electric powertrains, though their markets are not known. The move is Honda’s first reported decision to entrust an Indian engineering services firm with an end-to-end vehicle platform. It comes as the Japanese automaker cuts costs after its first annual loss since 1948 and revises its product plans. Honda’s India market share has fallen below 2%, from 7% more than a decade ago. The company plans to introduce a new family of cars in India from 2028. ## Coverage - economictimes.indiatimes.com Tags: automobiles, electric vehicles, Honda, India manufacturing, Tata Technologies Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/honda-outsources-new-vehicle-platform-development-to-tata-technologies/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
