Jazz and Brio production to restart from mid-February

Honda is going to restart production of Jazz and Brio in India from mid-February.  These cars were not in production for a couple of months due to problem in supply of parts from Thailand caused by floods there.  In fact, Honda had to face this problem everywhere in the world.  In India, the problem was very peculiar for Honda as all of its products are petrol driven which itself is a disadvantage as price of petrol is too much when compared to diesel price.  This has caused a huge demand for diesel vehicles and these are generally available after much waiting in spite of the fact that economy is not in a good mood and diesel cars are expensive compared to petrol vehicles.  However, when Honda reduced the prices of Jazz in August 2011, it immediately became a hit due to people’s belief in Honda’s petrol engines and overall quality of their cars.  Similarly, Brio, launched in September 2011, is also a popular model and people are ready to wait for this.

Along with Jazz and Brio, Honda is likely to start production of new version of City from mid-January itself.  At its factory near Delhi, Honda can produce up to 100,000 cars every year.
