Hyundai Motors India Limited is the second-largest carmaker in the country and has held onto that spot for a long time now.
As per the latest data, Hyundai India has achieved some incredible sales this festive season. The Korean car marque has announced the results for the festive season 2022. The results look promising as the industry gets back on its feet after a long slump in demand and manufacturing in the wake of the pandemic. Thereafter, the supply chain issues and semiconductor chip shortage affected the manufacturing and deliveries of the vehicles. Nevertheless, the sales picked up in 2022 and are reflected in the final results.

Going forward, the strategy seems pretty straightforward as well. The plan is to launch more new vehicles and the focus will also shift toward electrification. Currently, Hyundai is selling the KONA electric SUV in or market (but not so successfully). The Ioniq 5 is the next product that will take this EV wave forward. We might also see more affordable electric cars in the future. What are your thoughts on the sales of Hyundai in India over the years and going forward?
