Hyundai’s 2025-2030 Market Strategy vs. Maruti Suzuki and Tata Motors
Hyundai India, currently fourth-ranked behind Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, and Mahindra, aims to reclaim the No. 2 spot. In FY2025, Hyundai sold 599,000 vehicles domestically and 163,000 for export, with revenues of Rs 691,929 crore and EBITDA of Rs 89,538 crore, per Financial Express. However, market share dipped due to SUV competition, per Autocar India. The 26-model plan counters this with:
- Mass-Market EVs: Creta Electric and Inster EV target Rs 10-20 lakh segment, unlike Ioniq 5’s niche (Rs 46 lakh), per CNBC TV18.
- Hybrid Push: 2026 hybrid SUV taps 19% hybrid sales growth, outpacing 7% EV growth in 2024, per Jato Dynamics, per Business Standard.
- ICE Dominance: 20 ICE models ensure volume sales, as ICE still drives 80% of India’s car market, per Times of India.
Hyundai’s Rs 32,000 crore investment (Rs 6,000 crore for Pune, Rs 26,000 crore for Tamil Nadu) boosts production capacity to 1.074 million units by 2026, per Business Standard.
