Honda Cars India has announced that Takashi Nakajima will take over as its President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) from April 1, 2025. Nakajima will replace Takuya Tsumura, who held this position for the past three years. 

Nakajima joined Honda in 1994 and has held various positions in business planning, product planning, marketing, and sales promotion in markets like Japan, China, Spain, Czech Republic and Russia.
