Honda is all set to enter the electric car market in India. The company’s upcoming Honda 0 Alpha electric SUV is set to make its debut in India on December 2, 2026. The concept of this SUV was presented at the Japan Mobility Show in October 2025. The car has since been spotted testing on Indian roads. This could be a significant foray into the electric passenger vehicle segment in India for Honda, which has been focusing on petrol and hybrid cars.
The production will be in Rajasthan
Production of the Honda 0 Alpha is likely to take place at the Tapukada plant in Rajasthan. From here, along with manufacturing cars for the domestic market, exports will also be focussed. The model spotted during testing features a higher roofline, squared off wheel arches, enclosed front design and differently shaped lights. At the back, the raised tailgate and large rear windscreen are likely to emphasize cabin space and usability.
