Hyundai Motor's cumulative vehicle sales in India are projected to surpass 10 million units this year, marking a significant milestone nearly three decades after the company started local sales operations, according to industry data. The South Korean automaker achieved 9.88 million sales in India through the third quarter of the current year, with production beginning at its Chennai plant in 1998, as reported by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM).
Hyundai anticipates its cumulative sales in India will exceed the 10 million mark by year-end, driven by the introduction of various models over the past three decades. These include popular hatchbacks like the i10 and i20, subcompact Verna, SUVs such as the Creta and Exter, and the all-electric Creta EV. Hyundai's annual sales in India exceeded 500,000 units in 2016 and reached 605,433 units in 2024, as per SIAM data.
Last year, the company sold 398,937 SUVs in India, representing approximately 70% of its total sales in the country. Hyundai Motor's CEO, Jose M, is set to address its 2026 CEO Investor Day in August.
