Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) has officially commenced engine production at its Talegaon manufacturing facility in Maharashtra, marking a significant milestone in the company’s ₹6,000 crore investment plan to expand its footprint in the Indian automotive market. The engine assembly line went live on June 16, 2025, months ahead of the full-scale vehicle production scheduled to begin later this year. This facility, spread across 300 acres in MIDC Phase II, Talegaon, was previously owned by General Motors and later acquired by Hyundai in 2023. Since then, the plant has undergone extensive upgrades to support modern automotive manufacturing and logistics capabilities. The plant’s installed capacity includes 130,000 vehicles and 160,000 engines annually, making it Hyundai’s second major production base in India after Chennai.

Despite a marginal 4% decline in its Q4 FY25 consolidated net profit, Hyundai anticipates stronger performance in the coming quarters, aided by expanded production, new model introductions, and growing export demand.
