Production from Honda's fourth plant likely to be delayed.

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) recently said the operationalisation of its fourth plant in Gujarat will be delayed by about a quarter and will start production in the beginning of 2016.

'Due to the elections earlier this year, there has been a delay in the start of work at the Gujarat plant. We expect to start production at the plant in the first quarter of 2016 instead of last quarter of 2015 as planned earlier,' HMSI Keita Muramatsu told PTI here on the sidelines of SIAM annual convention.

The company is investing Rs. 1,000 crore to set up the plant that will have an annual capacity of 1.2 million units.

It has started ground levelling work at the plant now, he added.
