Hyundai Motor India is set to accelerate its growth trajectory in the country with ambitious plans for new factories, electric vehicles (EVs), and a robust lineup of future-ready models.
Over the years, the South Korean automaker has emerged as one of India’s leading carmakers, selling a cumulative 13.5 million vehicles — including 9.6 million units domestically and 3.9 million exported globally.

Now, Hyundai is looking to consolidate its position with a stronger focus on manufacturing, electrification, and cutting-edge automotive technology.
Expanding manufacturing capacity for the future
Hyundai’s journey in India began in 1998 with its Chennai plant, which has since become a key global production hub.
In 2025, the company further strengthened its manufacturing presence with the inauguration of the Talegaon plant near Pune.
Currently, Hyundai’s Chennai and Talegaon facilities boast a combined annual production capacity of 9.94 lakh (994,000) units.
The automaker aims to increase this capacity to 10.74 lakh (1.07 million) units by 2028, ensuring it can meet growing domestic demand while supporting its robust export business.
A major factor behind this growth is Hyundai’s focus on localisation. With around 82 per cent of components sourced locally, the company is strengthening India’s automotive supply chain and reducing reliance on imports.
This strategy benefits both production efficiency and cost competitiveness.
Accelerating electric vehicle plans
Hyundai is making significant strides in India’s EV market. With a clear focus on electric mobility, the company has been expanding its EV lineup and plans to introduce several models in the coming years.
As part of its long-term strategy, Hyundai has announced a massive Rs 45,000 crore investment between FY26 and FY30.
This capital will be directed towards manufacturing expansion, electrification, battery localisation, and the development of future mobility technologies.
Improving EV infrastructure across India is also a key priority, reflecting the brand’s commitment to sustainable transportation.
26 new products by 2030
Hyundai’s product roadmap is equally ambitious. By FY30, the company plans to launch 26 new products and variants, spanning SUVs, EVs, facelifts, and updated versions of existing models.
This strategy is designed to strengthen Hyundai’s presence across various vehicle segments while enhancing its premium and electric vehicle offerings.
By diversifying its portfolio, Hyundai is positioning itself as a future-ready brand capable of meeting the evolving demands of Indian consumers.
Strong export performance
Hyundai continues to hold the title of India’s largest cumulative passenger vehicle exporter.
Its vehicles reach nearly 150 countries, with key markets, including Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Mexico, Chile, and Peru.
Popular models like the Verna, Grand i10 Nios, and Aura play a significant role in export growth, highlighting Hyundai’s global competitiveness.
Sustainability and customer network
Hyundai India has also made sustainability a core priority.
All its plants and offices now operate on 100 per cent renewable energy under the RE100 initiative, complemented by multiple energy efficiency projects across its operations.
On the customer front, Hyundai maintains over 1,500 sales outlets across more than 1,100 cities in India, supported by a strong after-sales service network.
This combination of sustainability and extensive customer reach reinforces Hyundai’s long-term vision for growth in India.
