Hyundai Motor India inaugurated a new smart manufacturing plant in Talegaon, Pune, Maharashtra, on Wednesday, marking 30 years of operations in India as Hyundai Motor Group expands investment to strengthen the country’s role in its global production and export network.

The facility will initially have an annual production capacity of 170,000 vehicles, with plans to increase it to 320,000 by 2030. The opening comes as the group plans to invest $15.5 billion in India from 2026 through 2032 to expand manufacturing, research and development, supplier networks and future mobility businesses.

“India remains one of Hyundai's most important and strategic markets globally. The inauguration of the Pune plant reflects our long-term commitment to India's growth and our confidence in its bright future,” Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Chung Euisun said.

The plant's opening was marked in a ceremony by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, alongside Korean Ambassador to India Lee Seong-ho, state deputy chief ministers and senior Hyundai executives.

The Pune facility will produce the Hyundai Venue for global markets, with exports expected to reach more than 35 countries. Its flexible production systems can accommodate multiple models, including internal combustion engine and hybrid vehicles, while Industry 4.0 technologies, artificial intelligence-enabled systems and Hyundai Motor's E-FOREST digital manufacturing platform support automated quality inspections, predictive maintenance and defect detection.

The site also includes an engine shop capable of producing 150,000 engines annually, as well as workforce training facilities.

Hyundai Motor India plans to invest 110 billion rupees ($1.3 billion) in the facility in phases, according to its Managing Director and CEO Tarun Garg. The company added that 55 supplier partners had invested nearly 46 billion rupees in Maharashtra, generating more than 18,000 job opportunities when Tier 2 vendors are included.

“The inauguration of our Pune plant marks the beginning of Hyundai Motor India's next chapter of growth in India,” Garg said, highlighting the facility's role in industrial development, innovation and employment.

The opening coincides with Hyundai Motor India's cumulative passenger vehicle exports reaching 4 million since 1999, making it the first carmaker in India to achieve the milestone, according to the company. Chung cited the achievement as evidence of the global competitiveness of Indian manufacturing.

With the Pune plant's addition, Hyundai Motor Group's annual vehicle production capacity in India exceeds 1.4 million vehicles. The network comprises Hyundai Motor India's Chennai plant, with annual capacity for 824,000 vehicles, the Pune facility's initial capacity of 170,000 and Kia India's Anantapur plant capable of producing 431,000. The group plans to expand capacity at Hyundai Motor India and Kia India to meet domestic demand and increase exports.

The $15.5 billion investment plan was announced following a meeting between Chung and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Tuesday. The group plans to establish a dedicated entity in India to coordinate investments in R&D, future technologies and the broader automotive ecosystem, identify local partners and strengthen cooperation with Indian suppliers.

About $700 million will be allocated to expanding the group's Indian R&D center, including a vehicle testing track, to accelerate next-generation automotive development and strengthen local engineering capabilities. The group will also support supplier development, increase parts localization and help Indian partners adopt advanced technologies.

Beyond manufacturing, the investment plan covers potential opportunities in automotive financing, electric vehicle charging infrastructure and end-of-life vehicle recycling, alongside support for promising startups and the expansion of mobility services.

“Through this investment, we will create more employment opportunities and work together with our partners and stakeholders to support India’s continued industrial development,” Chung said.

The group employs more than 24,000 people in India, where its wider automotive network includes Hyundai Mobis, Hyundai Transys, Hyundai Capital, Hyundai Wia and Hyundai Glovis, spanning components, financing, logistics and related services.

Hyundai entered India in 1996 and launched the Santro hatchback in 1998. It has since served nearly 10 million customers in the country, according to the company.

The group has contributed a combined $110 million to social welfare, education and skills development programs in India since 2016. It also plans to establish the Hyundai Academy for Technical Skills in Chennai to provide vocational training.

Through expanded manufacturing, engineering capabilities and local partnerships, Hyundai Motor Group aims to move beyond its “Make in India” strategy toward greater local design, development and innovation.

现代汽车印度公司周三在马哈拉施特拉邦浦那市塔莱加翁开设了一家新的智能制造工厂，标志着现代汽车集团在印度运营30周年。现代汽车集团正在扩大投资，以加强印度在其全球生产和出口网络中的作用。

该工厂初期年产能为17万辆，计划到2030年增至32万辆。与此同时，该集团计划在2026年至2032年间向印度投资155亿美元，以扩大制造、研发、供应商网络和未来出行业务。

“印度仍然是现代汽车在全球最重要、最具战略意义的市场之一。浦那工厂的落成体现了我们对印度发展的长期承诺以及对印度美好未来的信心，”现代汽车集团执行董事长郑义宣表示。

该工厂的开业典礼由马哈拉施特拉邦首席部长德文德拉·法德纳维斯、韩国驻印度大使李成浩、该邦副首席部长和现代集团高管共同出席。

位于浦那的工厂将生产面向全球市场的现代Venue车型，预计出口范围将覆盖超过35个国家。其灵活的生产系统可适应多种车型，包括内燃机和混合动力车型；同时，工业4.0技术、人工智能系统以及现代汽车的E-FOREST数字化制造平台，支持自动化质量检测、预测性维护和缺陷检测。

该厂址还包括一个年产 15 万台发动机的发动机车间，以及员工培训设施。

据现代汽车印度公司董事总经理兼首席执行官塔伦·加格透露，该公司计划分阶段向该工厂投资1100亿卢比（约合13亿美元）。该公司还表示，55家供应商合作伙伴已在马哈拉施特拉邦投资近460亿卢比，如果将二级供应商也包括在内，将创造超过18000个就业机会。

“我们位于浦那的工厂落成，标志着现代汽车印度公司在印度发展的新篇章的开始，”Garg说道，并强调了该工厂在工业发展、创新和就业方面的作用。

据该公司称，此次开业恰逢现代汽车印度公司自1999年以来乘用车累计出口量达到400万辆，使其成为印度首家达到这一里程碑的汽车制造商。Chung表示，这一成就证明了印度制造业的全球竞争力。

随着浦那工厂的投产，现代汽车集团在印度的年产能超过140万辆。该生产网络包括现代汽车印度公司位于钦奈的工厂（年产能82.4万辆）、浦那工厂（初始产能17万辆）以及起亚印度公司位于阿南塔普尔的工厂（年产能43.1万辆）。集团计划扩大现代汽车印度公司和起亚印度公司的产能，以满足国内需求并增加出口。

周二，钟南山与印度总理莫迪在新德里会晤后，宣布了这项155亿美元的投资计划。该集团计划在印度设立一个专门机构，负责协调在研发、未来技术以及更广泛的汽车生态系统方面的投资，寻找当地合作伙伴，并加强与印度供应商的合作。

该集团将投入约7亿美元用于扩建其在印度的研发中心，包括建设车辆测试跑道，以加速下一代汽车的研发并提升当地的工程能力。此外，该集团还将支持供应商发展，提高零部件本地化率，并帮助印度合作伙伴采用先进技术。

除了制造业之外，该投资计划还涵盖汽车金融、电动汽车充电基础设施和报废车辆回收利用方面的潜在机会，同时支持有前途的初创企业和扩大出行服务。

钟先生表示：“通过这项投资，我们将创造更多就业机会，并与我们的合作伙伴和利益相关者共同努力，支持印度的持续工业发展。”

该集团在印度拥有超过 24,000 名员工，其在印度的汽车网络涵盖了现代摩比斯、现代运维、现代金融、现代威亚和现代格罗唯视，业务范围包括零部件、金融、物流和相关服务。

现代汽车于 1996 年进入印度市场，并于 1998 年推出了 Santro 两厢车。据该公司称，自那时以来，现代汽车已为该国近 1000 万客户提供服务。

自 2016 年以来，该集团已累计向印度的社会福利、教育和技能发展项目捐款 1.1 亿美元。该集团还计划在钦奈建立现代技术技能学院，提供职业培训。

通过扩大制造、工程能力和本地合作伙伴关系，现代汽车集团旨在超越其“印度制造”战略，实现更强大的本地化设计、开发和创新。
