New Delhi:Hyundai Motor has put India at the centre stage of its push for global growth. The brand is planning to launch or refresh more than 100 vehicles
globally by 2030, including 26 products for the Indian market. The South Korean carmaker revealed the strategy at its 2026 CEO Investor Day in Seoul on Wednesday as it prepares to widen its presence across vehicle segments.
They want to expand its hybrid and extended-range electric vehicle offerings and counter growing competition from Chinese carmakers, as reported by
Bloomberg.Hyundai is also preparing to enter segments such as MPVs and off-road SUVs The automaker had previously announced plans to invest Rs 45,000 crore through FY2030 to make India an increasingly important production and export base. The brand is planning to increase its Indian manufacturing capacity by 3,20,000 units annually by 2030 and source more than 90 per cent of components locally.
Hyundai currently works with more than 1,400 suppliers and has more than 900 engineers in India.
What has Hyundai planned for India
Among the upcoming products will be an all-new electric SUV, designed and localised specifically for India. It is slated to hit the market in the fourth quarter and is expected to feature Hyundai’s next-generation infotainment system and Level 2 driver-assistance technology. Hyundai is also working on a new mid-size SUV with an internal-combustion engine.
Hyundai also wants the SUVs to account for around 80 per cent of its Indian sales by 2030. This reflects the continued dominance of the body style in the domestic passenger vehicle market.
Hyundai’s global product offensive will not be limited to battery-electric vehicles. The company is planning a broader mix of EVs, hybrids and extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) as it adapts to varying rates of electrification across markets.
Hyundai expects electrified vehicles to represent 60 per cent of its global sales by 2030, compared with 23 per cent in 2025. It has retained its target of selling 5.55 million vehicles globally in 2030. In its first wave of global product offensive, seven new vehicles are planned over the next eight months. These include the new Tucson, Tucson Hybrid, Santa Fe EREV and Ioniq 3.
Hyundai is planning for a 1.27 million units of global production capacity by 2030, which also includes North America’s planned 5,00,000 units increase. The expansion further strengthens India’s position within Hyundai’s global manufacturing network. Hyundai Motor India has previously targeted exports accounting for as much as 30 per cent of its production by 2030, while greater localisation could help improve cost competitiveness in both domestic and international markets.
