Hyundai Motor India Vision 2030 Targets Second Largest Global Market with Manufacturing Expansion

Hyundai Motor India has outlined an ambitious long-term roadmap that positions the country as a strategic pillar in its global business. According to the company's latest annual report, Hyundai Motor India expects India to become the second-largest global market for its parent, Hyundai Motor Company, by 2030. The company believes strong economic growth, rising vehicle ownership and increasing demand for advanced mobility technologies will help achieve this objective while strengthening its overall competitiveness.

India Positioned at the Centre of Hyundai's Global Strategy

The annual report states that India's growing economy, expanding customer base and increasing preference for technologically advanced mobility solutions make the country a critical contributor to Hyundai's future. The company intends to reinforce its presence in the SUV segment while increasing manufacturing capacity, accelerating product introductions and expanding localisation efforts. These initiatives are expected to support both domestic demand and export opportunities over the coming years.

Hyundai Expands Manufacturing Capacity for 2030 Growth

Hyundai said manufacturing will remain the foundation of its long-term competitiveness. Building on the addition of its Pune manufacturing facility, the company plans to significantly expand its production footprint, creating one of Hyundai Motor Company's largest manufacturing bases worldwide. Annual production capacity is projected to exceed 1.1 million units by 2030 through greater automation, smart manufacturing technologies and improved operational flexibility while also strengthening supply chain resilience.

Product Pipeline Focuses on SUVs and Electrification

Hyundai plans to maintain an aggressive product rollout between 2025 and 2030 to address evolving customer preferences shaped by premiumisation, connectivity, electrification and changing lifestyles. The company intends to launch 26 products during this period, including new models, full model changes, derivatives, facelifts, product enhancements and new nameplates. The roadmap also includes two all-new SUV nameplates by financial year 2027, featuring a localised mass-market electric SUV alongside a new internal combustion engine SUV.

Domestic Challenges Drive Future Product Investments

Despite its long-term optimism, Hyundai acknowledged that a slower rollout of new models, facelifts and product upgrades compared with rival manufacturers affected its domestic performance during financial year 2026. The company lost market share and moved to fourth position in India's passenger vehicle market after holding the second position behind Maruti Suzuki for sixteen years. Hyundai believes its accelerated product strategy will better align future offerings with changing consumer demand.

Vision 2030 Includes EV Ecosystem and Luxury Expansion

Beyond launching battery electric vehicles, Hyundai's Vision 2030 strategy also focuses on developing a broader electric mobility ecosystem. The company plans to establish 600 fast-charging stations across India while continuing investments in hybrid technology, battery electric vehicles and manufacturing. Hyundai also reaffirmed plans to introduce the Genesis luxury brand into the Indian market. Managing Director and CEO Tarun Garg said the Vision 2030 roadmap includes entry into luxury mobility through Genesis alongside continued investments supporting long-term sustainable growth.
