There’s no two ways to say but Honda has been skeptical about entering the Indian passenger electric car market for multiple reasons. The Japanese automotive giant is adopting a wait-and-watch approach, allowing time for adequate infrastructure to emerge in support of a robust EV ecosystem in India.
Honda has now confirmed that it will enter this electric PV space in India in 2027 with the launch of 0 Alpha. The electric SUV made its global debut at the Japan Mobility Show in October 2025. It will most likely be manufactured locally in India which means it will be priced competitively against its rivals such as Hyundai Creta Electric, Maruti Suzuki e Vitara, Tata Curvv EV, Mahindra BE 6 and more.
The 0 Alpha is heavily inspired by the larger 0 SUV showcased earlier at CES 2025, although the former has a much smaller footprint. The vehicle is developed under Honda’s “Thin, Light, and Wise” philosophy from the 0 Series programme. This approach emphasises efficiency through lightweight engineering and intelligent packaging, enabling a low overall vehicle height while preserving ground clearance and interior space.
