New Delhi: Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) is eyeing a 7–8% growth in export volumes for the financial year 2025–26, as it marks 25 years of vehicle exports from India. The company has set its sights on becoming Hyundai's largest export hub outside of South Korea. Having begun its export operations in 1999 from Chennai Port, HMIL has shipped more than 3.7 million India-made vehicles globally, maintaining its position as the country's largest cumulative exporter of passenger vehicles. In FY 2024–25 alone, Hyundai exported 1,63,386 units, with Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Mexico, Chile, and Peru ranking among its top international markets. The automaker currently exports to over 60 countries and has a lineup of nine tailor-made products for overseas markets, including models like the Hyundai CRETA, CRETA Electric, ALCAZAR, EXTER, VENUE, AURA, VERNA, Grand i10 NIOS, and i20. HMIL recently commenced exports of the CRETA Electric to select neighbouring countries. 'In 2024-25, HMIL reached a significant milestone by completing 25 years of exports from India,' said Unsoo Kim, Managing Director, Hyundai Motor India Limited. 'As we aim to become Hyundai's largest export hub outside South Korea, we expect strong momentum to continue, with export volumes projected to grow by 7–8% in FY26.' Chennai Port has played a critical role in HMIL's export success. Shri S. Kirupanandasamy, Traffic Manager at Chennai Port Authority, noted the port's long-standing partnership with Hyundai. 'As the largest automobile export port in the Bay of Bengal, Chennai Port has served as a vital gateway for Hyundai's global shipments since 1999. Our dedicated facilities, including a holding yard for over 4,000 vehicles, support seamless export operations.' The company has achieved several export milestones faster than any other OEM in India – reaching 1 million units by 2010, 2 million by 2014, and 3 million by 2020. With a global strategy aligned to its 'Progress for Humanity' vision, Hyundai Motor India remains committed to expanding its footprint in emerging markets and reinforcing India's role as a major global automotive manufacturing base.
