Honda Cars to bring up 1.2 litre petrol : Planting their Second plant in India
Honda Siel Cars India Ltd. (HSCI), started work on their second plant in the Tapukara industrial area, some 120 km from its existing plant at Greater Noida. The new plant will come up on a 600-acre site and the initial phase will see an investment of Rs. 1,000 crore to churn out 60,000 cars annually. The plant will comprise, a press shop, a weld shop, die-casting shop, machine shop, paint shop and assembly operations. The Government of Rajasthan has also earmarked around 150 acres around the plant to house eight component suppliers of Honda.
Honda was also planning to use the panels made in this facility for other models produced at Greater Noida factory. Asked to define the small car that Honda was planning for India, Masahiro Takedagawa, president and chief executive officer of HSCI, said it would be a 1200 cc petrol or a 1500 cc diesel vehicle.
Tata Motors is already working on its Rs 1 lakh small car. Nissan Renault has also unveiling plans for a Rs 1.25-lakh car for the Indian roads.

it wouldn’t be comparable to the one lakh car as its totally different segment. 1-lakh car would be like 500bhp or something ?
I hate this concept of 1-lakh thing
