Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) is set to expand its manufacturing operations with a new plant in Talegaon, Maharashtra, expected to begin production in the fourth quarter of 2025. The company has also allocated INR 15 billion to upgrade its existing facility in Chennai. Once both plants are operational, HMIL aims to reach a combined annual production capacity of approximately 1.1 million units.
The Talegaon facility, acquired from General Motors, will start with an initial capacity of 170,000 units per year, which is planned to increase to 250,000 units by 2028. This expansion is part of HMIL’s long-term strategy to strengthen its manufacturing capabilities in India.
As of May 2025, Hyundai Motor India reported cumulative sales of 12.7 million units since its establishment in 1996, including more than 3.7 million vehicles exported to over 150 countries.
“Our journey with the country began 29 years ago with a vision of mutual progress,” said Unsoo Kim, Managing Director, Hyundai Motor India Limited. “HMIL will continue to drive transformation in products and services, while contributing meaningfully to the society,” he added.
The company began manufacturing in India in 1998 with its Sriperumbudur plant in Tamil Nadu, Hyundai’s first integrated car production facility outside South Korea. In 2024, HMIL accounted for 18.5% of Hyundai Motor Company’s global vehicle sales.
Hyundai Motor India is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Company, South Korea. It manufactures passenger vehicles for domestic and export markets and operates production facilities in Tamil Nadu, with upcoming expansion in Maharashtra.
