Honda Reworks India Strategy as Costs and Deadlock Bite

In October 2026, Honda is reworking its strategy in India, according to sources, as cost pressures and a deadlock force a change of approach. The move comes as Japan's chip industry capitalizes on growth in India's semiconductor sector, and Switzerland's president seeks an investment protection agreement in India. Wall Street has also placed a $10 billion bet on Indian hospitals, sparking a fight over bills.
