History

Historical Context

In 1996 Hyundai Motor India Ltd opened its Irungattukottai plant, entering a market then dominated by Maruti Suzuki and five major makers. The 2005 automotive policy’s 15 % tax rebate prompted foreign automakers to add roughly 500,000 vehicles annually. Hyundai now pledges $15.5 billion through 2032 for a Pune plant, 20 % AI/EV spending, supporting India’s goal to be the world’s third-largest EV market by 2030.
