Honda SIEL India is going though a very tough face of supply chain constrains because of floods in Thailand. The production of cars in Indian plants are badly affected because of part shortage, because of which the cars are not being assembled as per the plant capacities and demand. The fresh booking for most Honda cars are not being received by the Honda Dealers in India. In the wake of above situation, Honda SIEL managed to deliver just 1072 cars in the month od December 2011 compared to sales of 5135 cars in December 2010. This is a sharp decline of 79%.

The situation is expected to become normal by end of February 2012 when part sourcing is expected to start from China.
