Kia India Engine Theft: Ex-Staff, Scrap Dealers Face Probe Over 1,008 Missing Units
Two former Kia India workers are under investigation over accusations that they colluded with scrap dealers to steal 1,008 engines from the carmaker's factory over three years, police investigation documents showed. Though the engines were worth only $2.3 million, the police investigation noted the case had "widespread impact on industrial operations, stakeholder trust and employment security", and raised concerns about interstate crime networks. Also Read: Hyundai Alcazar Gets New Diesel And Petrol Automatic Variants; Check Prices Kia in March complained to police in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh that a review of internal records found engines sourced from its sister carmaker, Hyundai, were missing and it suspected a conspiracy between past and present employees. An initial police investigation found two former Kia India factory workers - a team leader and a head of section in the engine dispatch section - were involved in illegally transporting the engines from the factory using forged invoices and manipulated gate passes, according to an April 16 police document. They worked with at least two other individuals who helped arrange transport, and two other scrap dealers who helped sell them to buyers as far away as the capital city New Delhi. "The entire operation involved repeated illegal transactions, use of multiple trucks bearing manipulated or pseudo registration numbers," Inspector K. Raghavan said in his investigation document dated April 16, seen by Reuters. Raghavan declined to comment when contacted, citing confidentiality. In a statement to Reuters, Kia India said it identified the discrepancies as it enhanced its inventory management processes last year. Kia India conducted an internal investigation, reported the case to police and was continuing to strengthen internal process governance and reinforce stringent monitoring systems, it added. 'Disappearance' of Engines The former head of the engine dispatch section at Kia's factory, Vinayagamoorthy Veluchamy, 37, is currently under arrest in custody, and has applied to the state High Court for bail, according to court papers seen by Reuters. He denied any involvement in the alleged thefts, the papers showed. He left the company in 2023. The other Kia worker accused is 33-year-old former team leader Patan Saleem, who worked at the factory from 2020 to 2025, police documents showed. His whereabouts were not known and two phone numbers cited in the police document were not in service. The two former employees are yet to be formally charged with any offence, but have been named as accused in the investigation, which is still in initial stages. Given the "high-level preplanning, internal access manipulation", they could face punishment of 10 years imprisonment or more under Indian laws if charged and convicted, the police document said. While theft is relatively common in India, such large-scale, prolonged corporate-level cases such as the one involving Kia are rare. Kia first reported the matter of the "disappearance" of engines to police after stock reconciliation in January 2025, a month after it also found unauthorized vehicle movement in the factory's CCTV footage. Its March complaint put the missing engines number at 940, documents show. Police recovered nine mobile phones containing WhatsApp screenshots, transport invoices and truck photos. "The proceeds of crime were either spent on personal needs, clearing debts, purchasing immovable property or reinvested in businesses," said the police document.

He also shared his insights on few other things including where the EV market is going and whether the rare earth magnets are creating a problem or Sierra to return this yearSrivatsa confirmed that the Sierra will make its debut in both internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric versions within this current calendar year, ending speculation around its timeline. "The Sierra will definitely come out this calendar year, and it'll be both in ICE and EV form," said Srivatsa, adding that further details and surprises would be revealed closer to the official launch. The old Tata Sierra alongside the upcoming Sierra. advertisement View this post on Instagram A post shared by AutoToday (@autotodaymag)Tata Sierra's comeback Staying true to the spirit of its iconic original tagline, "It takes the rough with the smooth," the Tata Sierra is all set to make a comeback in a bold, modern avatar. Once celebrated for its distinctive rear glass design, the Sierra will soon return to Indian roads — this time featuring cutting-edge styling, advanced technology, and a choice of both ICE and EV powertrains. Tata is ready to revive a legend, reimagined for a new generation. The new Sierra will come in both electric and ICE options. A near-production version of the Tata Sierra was recently showcased at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025, and the latest sightings of test prototypes have shed new light on its design, features, and powertrain of the Sierra's biggest draws is its blend of retro charm and modern styling. Despite being heavily camouflaged, the test mule revealed several signature elements. At the front, it sports a tall bonnet, a split headlamp setup with connected LED DRLs, a gloss black grille, and a prominent silver skid plate, all contributing to its rugged appeal. Unlike the original 3-door Sierra of the 1990s, the new model features a more practical 5-door layout. At the rear, the SUV maintains a bold and upright profile, with a flat tailgate, connected LED tail lamps, and a rear wiper. Previous iterations have also revealed flush-fitting door handles, squared-off wheel arches, and thick cladding, all enhancing the Sierra's muscular and SUV-centric contrast to the original 3-door Sierra from the 1990s, the new-generation model adopts a more practical 5-door layout, making it suitable for modern-day usage. The upcoming Sierra gets flush door handles. Inside, Tata is expected to offer multiple interior colour schemes depending on the variant. The concept shown at the Auto Expo featured yellow accents to elevate the cabin's aesthetic. The production version is likely to feature a four-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated Tata logo, a design now common across Tata's latest the hood, the Sierra ICE is anticipated to come with two engine choices:A new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol expected to produce 168bhp and 280Nm of torqueA 2.0-litre Kryotec diesel, shared with the Harrier and Safari, delivering 168bhp and 350NmBoth engines are likely to be available with 6-speed manual and 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission Sierra EV, which will follow the ICE launch, is expected to offer multiple battery pack configurations and a range of over 500km on a single charge. It will likely share its electric drivetrain with the recently launched Harrier Sierra is inching closer to its official comeback. More details are expected to emerge in the coming months as Tata gears up for a highly anticipated launch later this year. The Sierra is all set to return this calender year. Future of AWD in Tata's portfolioOn the subject of all-wheel drive (AWD), Srivatsa candidly acknowledged a gap in Tata's current lineup. 'The last AWD vehicle we had was the Hexa, which we phased out in 2019. The AWD segment is less than 5% of the market, but our SUVs have always been known for performance. So we're bringing AWD back in a modern, electrified form,' he AWD is currently being rolled out in Tata's EV offerings like the Harrier EV, Srivatsa hinted that the technology may also make its way into future ICE vehicles, depending on consumer response. 'We'll assess the take rate, and it can probably be extended to ICE models as well,' he said. This could very well mean that the iCE variants of the Tata Harrier and the Tata Safari, and the upcoming Tata Sierra could very well be offered with AWD technology in the near EV consumer expectationsWhen asked about the current state and trajectory of India's electric vehicle market, Srivatsa noted a significant shift in consumer mindset. 'If you go back three years, the primary questions were about cost of operation, EV pricing versus ICE, and charging access. Today, many of those questions are answered,' he said. With the charging infrastructure expanding and products like the Harrier EV offering strong value, Tata believes consumers now expect more than just price parity—they want greater performance and chain and rare earth magnets concernAddressing concerns around rare earth materials and EV supply chains, Srivatsa acknowledged the challenges posed by geopolitical factors but remained optimistic. 'Yes, there is a little bit of concern, but we are confident that between the industry and the government, these issues will be resolved,' he to Auto Today Magazine

Maruti says no immediate impact from China rare earth magnet curbs
Maruti Suzuki , India's top-selling carmaker, said on Monday there was no immediate production impact from China's export curbs on rare earth magnets, a key component, and that it was in talks with the government on the matter. Auto industry manufacturers told government officials last week that production could stall within days due to the curbs, Reuters reported. These companies were worried by the complexity of a new import process requiring approval from Indian and Chinese officials as well as documents such as end-use certificates stating the magnets are not for military purposes. When asked how many weeks of inventory Maruti has before production would be impacted, the automaker said it has submitted an import application and it would be difficult to give "very specific details" until it receives a response. "It is not a restriction. It is an endorsement of end use. In case there is an issue, we will ... inform all our stakeholders, including the stock exchange," Rahul Bharti, senior executive director, corporate affairs, told reporters. However, at an industry meeting with India's heavy industries ministry last week, Maruti said it might be forced to stop production of one of its car models in early June if the magnet issue is not resolved soon, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters. China controls over 90% of global processing capacity for the magnets, used in fields as varied as automobiles, home appliances and clean energy. It enacted measures in April requiring companies to obtain import permits. The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers has told Modi's officials that inventories at parts makers may run out by the end of May, and starting early in June, auto industry production is expected to come to a "grinding halt." India's heavy industries minister, HD Kumaraswamy, told reporters separately on Monday that the government was preparing to send a delegation of industry executives to China in 2-3 weeks to discuss the issue with authorities there. The concerns come as carmakers are gearing up to launch new EVs in the country as they grapple with slowing sales of gasoline models. Maruti, which plans to launch its first EV in India this year - an electric SUV called the e Vitara - does not see any "material impact" on the car's launch timeline because of the magnet issue, Bharti said.
