Hyundai exits Ola Electric, Kia trims stake in ₹6.89 bn EV sell-off
Hyundai Motor has divested its entire stake in Ola Electric, while fellow South Korean carmaker Kia has reduced its holding in the EV startup. The combined share sale netted approximately ₹6.89 billion ($80 million), news agency Reuters reported. According to exchange data released on Tuesday, Hyundai, which previously held a 2.47 per cent stake, sold its shares at ₹50.70 each. Kia offloaded 0.6 per cent of its stake at ₹50.55 per share. Kia originally held less than a 1 per cent stake, and its current holding remains undisclosed as the exchange data does not reveal stakes below 1 per cent. The disposals weighed on Ola Electric's share price, which fell by 8 per cent on Tuesday. Both sales were priced at nearly a 6 per cent discount to Monday's closing price, contributing to the stock's decline. Hyundai and Kia had initially invested $300 million in Ola Electric in 2019, with plans to collaborate on electric vehicle development and charging infrastructure alongside Bhavish Aggarwal's startup. Challenges mount for Ola Electric The divestment comes at a difficult time for Ola Electric. The company has been grappling with slowing sales, regulatory scrutiny, and intensified competition from established two-wheeler manufacturers. Since going public in August 2024, its shares have plunged 46 per cent. Ola Electric recently reported a wider fourth-quarter loss and forecasted a revenue decline for the first quarter of the current financial year. The company has been offering steep discounts to counter competition, which has further pressured its earnings. Hyundai forms task force to tackle US tariffs In April, Hyundai Motor announced the formation of a task force to address the impact of US tariffs. The company also confirmed it had moved some production of its Tucson crossover from Mexico to the United States, Reuters reported. Additionally, Hyundai is evaluating whether to transfer production of certain US-bound vehicles from South Korea to alternative sites. Hyundai, along with its affiliate Kia, ranks as the world's third-largest automaker by sales. The companies face elevated risks from US tariffs given that roughly one-third of their global sales are generated in the US market. Data from Korea Investment & Securities shows that about two-thirds of Hyundai and Kia's US sales come from imported vehicles. "We expect a challenging business outlook to continue due to intensifying trade conflicts and other various unpredictable macroeconomic factors," Hyundai said. The task force aims to mitigate the financial impact of tariffs and devise strategies for increasing the local sourcing of auto parts within the US. Investments and relocation amid policy shifts Hyundai's move follows its $21 billion investment plan in the US, which includes expanding production at its new factory in Georgia. However, scaling up domestic output could take time, and the tariffs may cost the company billions. The decision to relocate some Tucson production to Hyundai's Alabama plant is a modest step forward, with approximately 16,000 units having been built in Mexico last year. (With agency inputs)

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.
