There are chances that Honda Civic Hybrid could be re-launched in India. This will be made possible only if the union government decides to bring down the import duty on environment-friendly vehicles. Honda was forced to stop its sale of Honda Civic Hybrid in India due to the high import duty, of over 104 per cent, it had to pay while bringing the car to India as Completely Built Units (CBU). The on-road price of the Civic Hybrid was much high due to the VAT and excise duty.
Honda Civic Hybrid is the first hybrid car that has been launched in India. It is powered by a 3-stage i-Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) engine, which has three valve timings namely low-speed, valve deactivated, and high-speed mode. The ‘idle-stop’ feature turns off the engine temporarily, which helps in saving fuel and minimizing emissions. The Civic Hybrid has very vibrant interiors and exteriors. Hybrid is an eco-friendly vehicle, with “green” specific features.
Honda Hybrid was introduced in India at price of Rs. 21 Lakh, but Honda had to soon renew the price and sell it for Rs. 13 Lakh. Honda has still not decided upon the price of its to-be re-launched Civic Hybrid. But if the import duty is slashed then Honda Civic Hybrid will be available at a much-cheaper rate.The next on the list of ‘Green car’ for the Indian market Toyota Prius hybrid launch is on hold. The reason for the delay is said to be the infrastructure concern, the heavy-duty structure and the inability to launch at a competitive price.
Honda was the first to launch Civic hybrid with the price tag of Rs 21 Lakh. Recently the price slashed to Rs 13 Lakh for a limited period and this in turn has also affected the Toyota’s plan to launch the Prius hybrid in India.

According to Toyota Kirloskar, “the company is still evaluating the conditions for the hybrid car. However, Fortuner from the SUV segment is expected to hit the Indian roads by mid 2009 and compact car by 2010.
