Honda 0 α Confirmed for India: Local Production to Begin in 2027
Honda has officially confirmed that the 0 α electric car, first showcased at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show, will be produced locally in India. This marks a major step in Honda’s new 0 Series EV strategy and signals the brand’s strongest electric commitment to the Indian market so far. Global sales for the Honda 0 α will begin in 2027, with India positioned as one of the initial launch markets.
Honda’s First 0 Series EV for India
The Honda 0 α is part of the company’s all-new 0 Series electric vehicle lineup, aimed at redefining Honda’s global EV roadmap. With India chosen for local manufacturing, the model is set to become Honda’s first major 0 Series EV for the country. This move also strengthens Honda’s long-term goal of offering affordable, locally produced electric cars in a rapidly expanding EV segment.
The 0 α is expected to bring a minimalist design language, flat-floor EV architecture and advanced connectivity features. More details on the platform, range and battery specifications will be revealed closer to launch.
India as a Key EV Production Hub
Honda’s decision to start local production of the 0 α from 2027 highlights India’s rising importance as a global EV manufacturing centre. With increasing EV adoption and government-backed localisation incentives, the country is becoming a strategic hub for brands planning long-term electric portfolios.
Positioning the Honda 0 α as a Made-in-India electric car also gives the company an advantage in pricing and competitiveness when it enters the electric SUV and crossover category.
Early Public Reaction
The initial reaction online has been mixed. While many users welcomed Honda’s renewed EV focus, some pointed out the unconventional rear styling of the 0 α. The feedback reflects the high expectations attached to Honda’s first India-focused EV under the 0 Series lineup.
Launch Timeline
Honda has confirmed that global sales of the 0 α electric car will start in 2027 across Japan and India. Official specifications, battery options, range figures and pricing for the India-spec model will be shared closer to production.
With local manufacturing confirmed, the Honda 0 α represents a major step in the company’s EV comeback, setting the stage for more 0 Series electric cars to arrive in India in the coming years.
