With an ambitious strategy revealed at its first Investor Day, Hyundai Motor India (HMIL) has grabbed notice. The company intends to invest $5.4 billion over now and by FY 2030 to position itself in the very competitive Indian automobile market.
Deep localisation, broadening of product line, and increased global hub position of India in Hyundai’s inventory are at the heart of the plan. Expectations are set high: the business wants more than 15% domestic market share and sees India as its second-biggest global territory by the end of the decade. Along its onward path, HMIL intends to introduce seven new nameplates among twenty-six new models by 2030 and start venturing into niches. It has traditionally distanced itself from MPVs and off-road SUVs among other types.
Expected by 2027, India’s first locally produced dedicated electric SUV will be its most headline-grabbing promise, together with the Indian debut of the Genesis luxury label approximately the same time. Moreover with more price slashes like 2026 Ioniq 5, Hyundai anticipates utility vehicles (UVs) to account for more than 80% of its sales by FY 2030, hence affirming its stake in SUV-driven growth trends in the nation. The carmaker also sees environmentally friendly powertrains, electric, hybrid, and CNG, comprising more than half of its portfolio, stressing its dedication to a more sustainable future.
Around 60% of the ₹45,000 crore investment will be channelled into product development and research and development to support its goals; the other 40% will proceed into capacity improvement and enhancements. Hyundai hopes to turn India into a strong export hub as well, anticipating that 2030 will see up to 30% of output exported. Financially, HMIL expects its sales to reach ₹1 lakh crore by FY 2030, along with consistent double-digit EBITDA margins and a dividend policy in the 20% to 40 % range. This bold strategy shows Hyundai’s progress in India, a country with great growth possibilities but fierce competition.
