Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) inaugurated its manufacturing plant in Talegaon, Pune, on October 14th, 2026, expanding its manufacturing operations beyond Tamil Nadu for the first time.
The company's original plant at SIPCOT Industrial Park in Sriperumbudur, Chennai, has been operational since Hyundai entered the Indian market in 1996. HMIL's registered office remains in Tamil Nadu, where its original manufacturing facility continues to operate.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis presided over the inauguration ceremony. Attendees included Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Euisun Chung, HMG President and CEO Jose Munoz, HMIL Managing Director and CEO Tarun Garg, and South Korea's Ambassador to India, Lee Seong-ho.
The Pune plant has an installed annual production capacity of 170,000 vehicles, which is scheduled to increase to 320,000 units by 2030. Combined with the Chennai plant, HMIL's total annual production capacity is projected to reach approximately 1.14 million units by that year. The facility also houses an engine shop with an annual production capacity of 150,000 engines.
HMIL plans to invest up to Rs. 110 billion (US$ 1.15 billion) in the Pune facility in phases. The Hyundai Venue compact SUV will be manufactured exclusively at the plant and exported to more than 35 countries.
The facility uses Industry 4.0 technologies, including artificial intelligence-based quality inspection, predictive maintenance, digital simulations and augmented reality-based workforce training. These systems operate through Hyundai's proprietary E-FOREST digital factory platform.
The plant's supplier network includes 55 Tier-1 suppliers operating in Pune, which have collectively invested approximately Rs. 46 billion in Maharashtra. Nearly half of the supplier network is located within a 50-kilometre radius of the facility. According to HMIL, the combined Tier-1 and Tier-2 supplier network has generated more than 18,000 jobs in the state.
At the time of the inauguration, HMIL reported cumulative exports of four million passenger vehicles from India since it began exporting in 1999. The company has also sold nearly 10 million vehicles in the domestic market over its 30 years of operations.
Separately, Hyundai Motor India Engineering and Kia India have reportedly received Confirmation of Compliance (CoC) certifications from the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) for their cybersecurity and software update management systems. The certifications cover organisational processes for managing cybersecurity risks in connected-vehicle electronics and overseeing software updates throughout product lifecycles.
The reported technical approval covers Hyundai Motor India Engineering's Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS) under standard AIS:189 and its Software Update Management System (SUMS) under standard AIS:190. The CSMS covers organisational processes for managing cybersecurity risks over time, while the SUMS addresses software change management, including over-the-air (OTA) updates. The two systems serve different purposes.
ARAI Director Reji Mathai presented the compliance certificates to ChangYeon Cho, Director of Hyundai Motor India Engineering. ARAI Senior Deputy Directors Abdul Jabbar Akbar Badusha, Anand Deshpande and Dr Prasanna Bhat were also present.
The reported certifications apply to management systems and organisational processes. They do not confirm that every Hyundai or Kia model has separately received vehicle-level approval. Copies of the certificates, their identification numbers, validity dates and the full scope of the covered entities or vehicles have not been established in the available account.
