Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India has a total of two turbine systems in the country

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) is all set to expand its renewable energy portfolio in the country. For the same, it has inaugurated its second wind turbine system in Bhanvad, Gujarat, which is around 350 km from the company’s Vithalapur plant. This turbine system has been built with an investment of Rs 176 million. 

As for the first turbine system, it was installed in Radhanpur, Gujarat last year. Together with both turbine systems, Honda 2Wheelers will now be able to produce a total of 4.7 MW wind energy. Now, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India will be able to meet over 50 percent of total energy requirements from renewable energy resources at its four manufacturing plants in Manesar (Haryana), Tapukara (Rajasthan), Narsapura (Karnataka) & Vithalapur (Gujarat). 

“As a company aware of its responsibility towards society, now and in the future, energy security is a key focus area for us at Honda. By reducing our thermal power consumption, HMSI is moving closer towards Honda’s long-term environmental vision to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The inauguration of our second wind turbine in Gujarat is yet another step towards reducing the environmental impact of our products and business activities. We continue to remain committed in our efforts towards protecting the natural environment,” as commented by Atsushi Ogata, Managing Director, President & CEO, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India.
