Hyundai Plans Rs.1,500 Crore Modernization

Hyundai Motor India has submitted a Pre-Feasibility Report (PFR) for the modernization of its Tamil Nadu plant, with an investment plan of Rs.1,500 crore. This modernization project is aimed at enhancing production capacity and integrating advanced technologies to support the company’s transition toward green mobility, particularly focusing on electric vehicles (EVs) and sustainability initiatives.

The company’s plan to upgrade its Tamil Nadu manufacturing facility includes infrastructure improvements, which will enable the plant to produce next-generation passenger vehicles, including electric models, at an increased rate. The move aligns with Hyundai's global strategy to expand its EV portfolio and strengthen its foothold in the green mobility segment in India. The plant, which has been operational for years, will benefit from state-of-the-art technologies, leading to higher efficiency and reduced environmental impact.

This modernization project also reflects Hyundai’s commitment to staying competitive in the Indian automotive market by adopting cutting-edge manufacturing processes and increasing production efficiency. The investment will not only bolster Hyundai's production capabilities but also contribute to the local economy by generating employment and promoting industrial growth in Tamil Nadu.

The Tamil Nadu government is expected to support this modernization initiative as part of its broader effort to promote investments in the state's thriving automotive sector. Hyundai’s plant in Tamil Nadu is already a critical hub for vehicle production, and this upgrade will position it to meet growing demand for EVs and other eco-friendly vehicles, both domestically and internationally.

By modernizing its facility, Hyundai aims to reinforce its leadership in the Indian automotive market while contributing to the global shift towards sustainable mobility solutions. This Rs.1,500 crore investment is poised to accelerate the company's efforts to achieve greater efficiency and environmental sustainability in its manufacturing processes.
