Honda Cars India Ltd. (HCIL) is an automobile manufacturer in India owned by Honda Motor Co. Ltd.[3] The company was established in 1995 as a joint venture called Honda Siel Cars India (HSCI). The company was renamed to HCIL in September 2012 following the sale of 3.16 percent stake owned by Usha International, making it a 100 percent subsidiary of Honda Motor Co. Ltd.[4]

HCIL's first manufacturing plant at Greater Noida began operations in 1997. Set up at an initial investment of over ₹4.5 billion, the plant is spread over 150 acres (0.61 km2). The initial capacity of the plant was 30,000 cars per year, which was later increased to 50,000 cars on a two-shift basis. The capacity was further enhanced to 100,000 units annually in 2008. This expansion led to an increase in the covered area in the plant from 107,000 square metres (1,150,000 sq ft) to over 130,000 m2 (1,400,000 sq ft).
