The model continues to be a best-seller in its segment, thanks to its balance of design, performance, and features.

This variety has enabled Hyundai to maintain a steady presence in every major vehicle category, reinforcing its relevance in a competitive auto market.

Official Statement from HMIL Leadership

Commenting on the sales milestone, Tarun Garg, Whole-time Director and COO of Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL), stated:

“As we enter the 30th year of our operations in India on 6th May 2025, we are proud of our commitment to the country, which has helped us achieve 9 million unit sales. Despite headwinds in the domestic market due to macroeconomic factors, our focus on exports and the 'Make in India, Made for the World' philosophy has yielded positive results.”

Hyundai India Sales Report – April 2025

In April 2025, Hyundai recorded total sales of 60,774 units, reflecting a 4.59% decline from the 63,701 units sold in April 2024.

• Domestic Sales: 44,374 units (down 11.64% YoY)

• Exports: 16,400 units (up 21.48% YoY from 13,500 in April 2024)

Another key development is the Hyundai i10 family achieving 30 lakh global cumulative sales. Of these, more than 20 lakh units were sold in India, while approximately 13 lakh units were exported to over 140 countries, including Chile, Peru, and South Africa.

The i10 family now spans three generations:

1. Original i10

2. Grand i10

3. Grand i10 Nios (current model)

Its continued popularity, especially in India and Europe, has established it as one of Hyundai’s most successful nameplates globally.

Looking Ahead: Expansion and Commitment to Indian Market

As Hyundai celebrates its 30th year in India, the brand remains focused on localization, customer satisfaction, and innovation. With an eye on expanding EV offerings and strengthening its manufacturing capabilities, Hyundai aims to further grow its footprint in both domestic and international markets from its Indian operations.
