Key Highlights
- Hyundai will invest INR 45,000 crore in India by FY2030
- 26 new models incoming, including 7 brand-new nameplates and several EVs
- Genesis to finally debut in India by 2027
Hyundai Motor India just dropped the kind of announcement that makes everyone sit up and take notice. At its first-ever Investor Day, the Korean giant revealed plans to pump a staggering INR 45,000 crore into India by FY2030.
The plan? Launch 26 new models, including seven all-new nameplates, and dive headfirst into electrification. Hyundai isn’t content with being a strong player anymore, it’s clearly gunning for dominance.
What’s in the pipeline
This upcoming wave of models will stretch across every segment like MPVs, off-roaders, SUVs, EVs, and hybrids. And perhaps the biggest headline of them all, Hyundai is finally bringing Genesis, its luxury division, to India by 2027. That move alone could seriously stir up the premium space currently ruled by the Germans.
SUVs, though, remain the brand’s bread and butter. Hyundai wants more than 80% of its lineup to be SUVs by FY2030, up from 68.5% in FY2025. That’s a clear nod to India’s undying love for big, bold, and high-riding machines.
On the business side, Hyundai is also eyeing a 30% export contribution, a 1.5x revenue bump, and a total turnover north of INR 1 lakh crore by the end of the decade.
Building the future
Beyond new cars, Hyundai’s big bet involves future-ready manufacturing, deeper localisation, and homegrown EV tech. The brand’s first locally-built electric SUV is set to arrive by 2027, tailored specifically for Indian roads, weather, and value-conscious buyers.
They’re also introducing Hyundai Capital by mid-2026 to offer smart financing solutions that make this transition smoother for customers. It’s a complete ecosystem play. Something only a handful of global automakers have managed to pull off in India.
Our thoughts
This looks as one of the most meaningful long-term commitments from any global carmaker in recent memory. It’s focused, forward-looking, and most importantly, rooted in India’s reality.
