In a powerful stride toward global dominance, Hyundai Motor India Ltd is steering Chennai onto the world stage, turning it into the company’s most significant export base outside South Korea. This move signals not only Hyundai’s unwavering belief in India’s manufacturing prowess but also Tamil Nadu’s rising prominence in the global automobile map.
With ambitious eyes set on the future, Hyundai plans to grow its exports by 7 to 8 percent in the financial year 2026. The carmaker is charting fresh routes into vibrant markets including Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Mexico, Chile and Peru. By the time the calendar touches 2030, the export share of Hyundai’s total production will ascend from the current 21 percent to a dynamic 30 percent.
At the heart of this bold transformation are Hyundai’s massive production strongholds located in Irungattukottai and Sriperumbudur. These manufacturing giants are destined to power a million vehicles annually by 2026. The recent acquisition of the General Motors plant in Maharashtra further fuels this grand expansion, adding another gear to Hyundai’s high-speed journey.
What makes Chennai the crown jewel of this vision? The city’s stellar port infrastructure and its strategic coastal location continue to grant it the moniker “Detroit of Asia.” Its deep industrial roots and seamless connectivity have made it a favourite among global carmakers looking for an eastern gateway.
This strategic elevation of Chennai as a global auto export engine is a clear testament to Tamil Nadu’s thriving industrial climate and progressive vision. It paints a picture of a state not only open to opportunity but ready to lead the charge.
Hyundai’s bold leap forward is more than just an expansion. It is a reflection of a deeper trust in India’s potential, a celebration of Chennai’s logistical brilliance and a powerful statement about the future of mobility crafted on Indian soil.
