Looks like the Thailand floods are affecting Honda production everywhere. We haven't had any communication from Nissan or Toyota. They may not be affected. |

There goes our Jazz delivery. Postponed again even though booked on 1st Sep. I know that Honda's original Jazz production plan was 600 (Oct), 1260 (Nov) & 960 (Dec). Does anyone have revised figures as on date? BTW if City production is affected, what is Honda going to sell?! |

But they have no other option available to them right now, either.

The rumoured City facelift might just be put off for sometime. Btw, doesn't City have around 70% + localization; it is only Thailand and Japan that the rest is procured from? Here's hoping they run full steam soon. |

Look at the models affected Brio, Jazz and City. Brio and City was what brought them volumes despite the petrol price hike. When they get out of this situation wonder what further damage rising petrol prices would've done to petrol cars It'll be unfortunate if they lose out on volumes for Brio due to the floods. |

Coming back to the Honda's miseries, it seems to me that Honda has had one of its toughest years in 2011 what with the tsunami and earthquake in Japan earlier this year and the flash floods in Thailand now. Just look at those cars submerged in Thai floods, it is a total carnage. | |

| BHPian  Join Date: Jul 2010 Location: Bangalore Posts: 73 Thanked: 9 Times | Re: Thailand Flood situation to drastically affect Honda India's Output in Nov - Dec The company has suspended it's guidance owing to uncertainty over Thai floods. Some Media outlets in Japan are saying that it might take about six months for production to resume to normal levels. I am not sure how accurate this is. The plant produces about 20K vehicles and 12K CKDs a month. By looking at the snap of submerged cars. It looks like they might take a while to re-start the plant. However, the company in the call said that the impact on sales of models marketed globally (Jazz/Fit, Civic) could be kept to a minimum as the firm will procure parts from alternative sources. Guess, this might take a couple of months. |

Honda seem to be having a very tough year 2011. How will this effect the pricing of HONDA in india, will they be forced to increase price, due to looses in ThaiLand and resultant increase in Cost of Components? hope not.... | |

| Distinguished - BHPian   | Re: Thailand Flood situation to drastically affect Honda India's Output in Nov - Dec Lot of companies are going to get affected including the non-auto industry. The impact will be seen by Nov end or in Dec only as most cos. maintain good stock of import parts. |

| Distinguished - BHPian  | Re: Thailand Flood situation to drastically affect Honda India's Output in Nov - Dec Yep Honda has been hit twice globally in recent times - Japan and now Thailand and these are hubs that produce certain components for global requiirements. And in India it has been hit further by the petrol price hike. The Snaps of complete Car yards submerged makes for a sad scenario. |
