Hyundai Motor India is set to significantly enhance its manufacturing footprint with the commissioning of its new facility in Talegaon, Pune by the third quarter of FY26.

As per the company’s FY25 annual report, this expansion will raise Hyundai’s total annual production capacity across its Chennai and Pune plants to 9,94,000 units initially, and further to 1,074,000 units once the Talegaon operations are fully scaled up. While full vehicle assembly will commence in a few quarters, engine manufacturing has already started at the new site with an annual output of 1.5 lakh units.

The Talegaon plant will serve as a pivotal base for Hyundai’s SUV and electric vehicle (EV) strategies, incorporating lean manufacturing practices, advanced automation, and greater localisation. The expansion aims to address growing domestic demand while also strengthening Hyundai’s export capabilities. Currently, Hyundai’s total installed capacity stands at 8,24,000 units a year, making this new facility a substantial leap toward crossing the one-million mark in India.

The strategic addition is expected to fortify Hyundai’s competitive edge in the evolving Indian automotive market, particularly in the high-growth SUV and EV segments.
