About Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India

HMSI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Honda Motor Co., Japan, and started operations in India in 2001. It has produced more than 7 crore two-wheelers since then and sells scooters, commuter motorcycles and premium bikes in India and abroad.

Two-wheeler plants run at very high volumes, so they need large numbers of assembly associates, machine operators and quality checkers. That makes HMSI a strong option for ITI freshers who want a structured start in manufacturing.

Types of Jobs at HMSI

A government-recognised apprenticeship where you learn trades such as Fitter, Electrician, Machinist and MMV on the plant floor.

Fits handlebars, wiring, wheels, panels and engines on fast-moving two-wheeler lines.

HMSI Jobs for Freshers

Most freshers join HMSI as ITI apprentices or production trainees. The apprenticeship gives you a nationally recognised certificate, while trainee roles are usually fixed-term contracts that build experience.

Because the Vithalapur and Tapukara expansions are scheduled for 2027–2028, hiring for those locations is likely to build up ahead of start-up. Candidates from Gujarat and Rajasthan, or those willing to relocate, may want to keep a close watch on official notices.

Remember that an apprenticeship or trainee contract does not guarantee a permanent post. Treat it as a strong first step and keep improving your skills.

HMSI invests in skills both inside and outside its plants.

Plant Apprenticeship

Hands-on training in your trade with safety, quality and 5S basics, ending with an apprenticeship certificate.
