Hyundai Celebrates 25 Years of Vehicle Exports from India, Surpasses 3.7 Million Units
Since commencing exports in 1999, Hyundai's state-of-the-art production facility in Chennai has evolved into a strategic node in the company's international operations. In FY 2024–25 alone, the automaker exported over 1.63 lakh units, and it projects 7–8% growth in export volumes for FY 2025–26.
The top export destinations for Hyundai from India include Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Mexico, Chile, and Peru, underscoring the brand's strong demand across emerging and mature global markets. The company's export portfolio is led by models such as the Creta, i20, and Grand i10.
A key enabler of Hyundai's export success is its long-standing partnership with the Chennai Port, ensuring efficient global distribution and logistics. The company also continues to invest in technology, sustainability, and automation at its Indian plant to meet evolving global standards.
Speaking on the occasion, Hyundai reiterated its commitment to 'Progress for Humanity,' focusing on sustainable mobility solutions, digital transformation, and enhanced customer experiences across the globe.
With two and a half decades of export leadership, Hyundai Motor India continues to play a pivotal role in driving global automotive growth — right from its base in Chennai.

Tesla's China-Made EV sales drop 8.4% in July amid rising competition
Tesla's sales of China-made electric vehicles fell 8.4 per cent in July from a year earlier, reversing a small increase in June, amid rising competition from rivals offering lower-priced new models. Deliveries of China-made Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, including exports to Europe and other markets, reached 67,886 cars last month, down 5.2 per cent from June, data from the China Passenger Car Association showed on Monday. Top Chinese rival BYD, with its Ocean and Dynasty lineups of EVs and plug-in hybrids, delivered almost flat global passenger car sales at 341,300 vehicles in July. Tesla's July reading followed a 0.8 per cent rise year-on-year in sales of its China-made EVs in June, which ended an eight-month losing streak, but fell short of stopping quarterly declines. Elon Musk's EV company, grappling with weak demand and a backlash among some consumers against his political views, posted its biggest quarterly sales decline globally in over a decade in the second quarter.

CarzSpa Scales 125+ studios, sets global benchmark for Indian car detailing
CarzSpa has made a significant contribution to the growth of India's car detailing industry, which is undergoing rapid transformation. What came as a solution to a Surat crisis in 2007 has since grown into a chain of over 125 detailing studios in India and Nepal, with an expanding international footprint and more than 700 specialists trained under its umbrella. It was the 2006 Surat floods that brought into being the idea of CarzSpa. Thousands of cars were underwater after the flood, and though mechanical work and bodywork were easy to come by, professional solutions for rejuvenating and cleaning car interiors did not exist. This vacuum in the Indian auto care market saw the setting up of the country's first auto detailing studio a year later. Most of the Indian clientele at CarzSpa, when it first opened, were unaware of detailing as a concept. The company introduced something different from traditional car washes or polishing services, with an organised, quality-based approach modelled on best global practice. CarzSpa soon became a high-street brand that raised the bar in car care, focusing on technical excellence, the latest materials, and meticulous attention to detail. As demand grew, CarzSpa launched a franchise format , allowing it to expand fast and maintain the quality of service. Through the years, the brand has expanded to more than 125 franchised locations, not just bringing automobile detailing to additional cities but also helping local entrepreneurs with establishing long-term service ventures under the CarzSpa name. The company's efforts at professionalising the business extended beyond the mere offering of services. CarzSpa established AutoFresh in 2010, one of India's earliest B2B e-commerce platforms for automobile care products used in car washing. This strategy gave detailers across India improved access to international automobile care brands, accelerating procurement and enhancing service quality at the ground level. CarzSpa further established the AutoFresh Detailing Academy , India's first detailing training centre, to assist in developing industry talent. More than 700 professionals have been trained through the academy's structured programs, hands-on seminars, and monthly mentoring. More than 100 detailers and entrepreneurs have also gained from the program's ongoing learning and support group in growing their business. CarzSpa has achieved global recognition in addition to its operations in India. As President of the International Detailing Association's India Chapter, the firm actively represents Indian specialists on the global stage. CarzSpa's footprint may be seen at trade shows, in foreign magazines, and through cross-border mentorships, with its influence reaching over 600 detailing studios globally. Innovation stays at the heart of CarzSpa's quest. From introducing technology such as steam cleaning and graphene coatings to testing scalable service models, the company is constantly refining how car detailing is performed and perceived in India. Its focus has always been on strengthening industry standards and generating sustainable employment opportunities within the field. CarzSpa's story is one of more than mere company expansion. It illustrates the evolution of a once-unorganised industry into an established professional services field. The firm's efforts in training, franchising, and international partnerships have not only established car detailing as a force to be reckoned with in India but have also positioned the nation on the global automotive care map.
