Honda NX125 patented in India; will it be launched soon?

Honda has patented the NX125 scooter in India, which is already on sale in international markets. Although the Japanese automaker has not revealed anything yet, we expect the two-wheeler to be launched in India soon to compete with the TVS Ntorq 125. For starters, Honda currently offers two strong names in the 125cc segment: Dio and Activa. With the launch of the NX125, the company could be looking to improve its position in the segment and give a strong response to the growing competition.
