Hyundai sees automotive demand recovery amid favourable govt policies
Hyundai Motor India (HMIL) anticipates a near-to-mid-term recovery in automotive demand, supported by India's economic resilience and government policies which were creating favourable ground for the automobile and other consumption-driven sectors amid global uncertainties, the company said in its first annual report since going public. HMIL Managing Director Unsoo Kim acknowledged in the company's 2024-25 Annual Report -- its first since the company got listed on bourses -- how global disruptions and high base continues to pose challenges for the automotive industry. However, he believes that India's 'forward-looking policies and economic resilience,' including recent repo rate cuts and income tax relief, are creating a more favourable landscape for consumption-driven sectors. Kim noted that with financing becoming more accessible, customer confidence is improving, which is expected to support demand recovery. For the financial year 2025-26, HMIL projects its domestic growth to align with industry estimates of a low-single digit increase. A more robust performance is expected on the export front, with the company forecasting a 7-8 per cent volume growth, driven by strong demand for its products in emerging markets. Hyundai also reported that SUVs accounted for 69 per cent of its domestic sales last year, with its flagship Creta maintaining over 30 per cent market share in the mid-size SUV segment. The annual report also highlighted the company's vision for future growth. Hyundai plans to commence vehicle production by the third quarter of FY26 at its new Pune facility, which aims to produce over 1 million units annually. The company also announced their plans to launch 26 new models and upgrades by FY30, including six electric vehicles (EVs) and 20 internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. This portfolio will be complemented by the introduction of eco-friendly powertrains like hybrids. The annual report also shed light on director remuneration for the FY25. Unsoo Kim received a total remuneration of ₹7.06 crore, reflecting a 19.8 per cent increase year-on-year. This remuneration included salary, commission, perquisites, and a performance incentive. Tarun Garg, whole-time director, saw an increase of 38.7 per cent from the previous year reaching ₹5.50 crore.

Hyundai India eyes rural growth, EV push and 26 new models by 2030
Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) is intensifying its rural commitment, premium ambitions, and manufacturing expansion to retain its momentum in the Indian automotive market. According to the company's annual report for FY 2024-25, it will employ a multi-pronged strategy for the next stage of growth by combining volume, value and future-led mobility. Beyond the luxury segment, HMIL is implementing a full-fledged strategy to strengthen its presence in the overall market. Deepening Rural Market Penetration Hyundai has seen one of its greatest growth engines in recently expanding its rural presence. Its rural penetration jumped from 19.4 per cent in FY 2023-24 to 20.9 per cent in FY 2024-25. This increase is not just incremental but also strategic—rural India is now a significant consumer of alternate fuel vehicles. Specifically, rural market sales of CNG vehicles jumped 33 per cent year-on-year, and the proportion of rural sales of CNG vehicles rose from 12 per cent to 15 per cent. These statistics indicate an unmistakable rural mobility pattern shift, wherein running expenses and affordability are dictating consumer behavior. Hyundai has also adjusted product offerings correspondingly to ensure the availability of CNG in its major models that resonate with price-sensitive but aspirational rural consumers. Hyundai's rural penetration jumped from 19.4 per cent in FY 2023-24 to 20.9 per cent in FY 2024-25.
