Hyundai announces plans to invest in India and launch electric vehicles

Hyundai has announced plans to launch at least three new electric vehicles in the Indian market by 2023, in addition to its investment plans. These will include the Ioniq 5, Kona Electric, and Nexo from Hyundai’s global EV lineup.

Hyundai has been present in India for over two decades and currently has two production plants in the country with a total annual production capacity of 750,000 units. The company is also a major exporter of vehicles from the country, exporting approximately 25% of its production.

Hyundai has announced that it plans to increase its total production capacity in the country to 850,000 units per year. This news comes a few weeks after the federal government announced plans to increase taxes on imported cars and motorcycles, including EVs, to boost domestic production.

Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra, along with global competitors BYD and SAIC’s MG Motor, have launched their line-up in India’s electric vehicle industry, which is rapidly growing.

With new investments, there is hope for the creation of more jobs in India and also for helping the country transition towards electric mobility. The Indian government has set a target of 30% of all vehicles to be electric by 2030, and Hyundai’s investment is expected to play a significant role in achieving this goal.
