Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy presented Hyderabad as an ideal location for Hyundai's planned car manufacturing facility during a meeting with a delegation from Hyundai Motors India Engineering (HMIE). The HMIE team, led by managing director Changyeon Cho, met with the Chief Minister on Friday, October 16, 2026. The delegation discussed progress on the integrated Global R&D facility at NIMZ in Zaheerabad, a project that will involve a massive investment of ₹8,528 crore and create 4,276 jobs.
The R&D facility is expected to be ready for groundbreaking in the next few months. Telangana's appeal to Hyundai includes its cosmopolitan nature, safety, liveability, strong transport infrastructure, and plans for high-speed connectivity with ports. The state is also developing Bharat Future City, a world-class satellite city, under spatial frameworks such as Peri-Urban Region Economy (PURE) for manufacturing.
Chief Minister Reddy extended an invitation for Hyundai leadership to participate in the Invest Telangana Global Summit 2026, seeking to further strengthen Hyderabad's status as a global tech and advanced engineering hub, aligning with the Telangana Rising 2047 vision.
