Honda Cars India (HCIL) has decided to pull the plug on production at its Greater Noida plant in Uttar Pradesh.
The automaker, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Japanese Honda Motor Company, had set up the Greater Noida plant in 1997.
The plant will, however, continue to house the company's corporate head office, spare parts division and research and development (R&D) centre, among other functions.
The automaker will now rely only on its Tapukara facility in Rajasthan to roll out its entire product range in the country.
The company used to roll out models like City, CR-V and Civic from the Greater Noida plant, which had a production capacity of one lakh units per annum.
The Tapukara facility, on the other hand, has an installed capacity of 1.8 lakh units per annum. The plant also produces engines which are exported to other countries.
