What Hyundai Motor India does

Indian subsidiary of Korea's Hyundai, the country's second-largest car maker selling hatchbacks, sedans and SUVs.

Sells through a nationwide dealer network, with SUVs now carrying more of the volume than small hatchbacks and exports through Chennai adding to sales. The Korean parent Hyundai Motor Company holds the large majority of shares after the 2024 listing, and it took over General Motors' idle Talegaon plant to add capacity.

In one line: India's #2 mass-market automaker, akin to a local Honda.
