MUMBAI, September 16, 2025 — Hyundai Motor India is racing ahead in both the stock market and the auto sector, with investors bullish on its growth trajectory. The stock currently trades at ₹2,608, up 3%, supported by strong technical momentum and industry-leading fundamentals.

StockEdge momentum scores show consistent strength—82/100 for one month, 85/100 for three months, and 87/100 for six months—signaling sustained investor confidence.

On the fundamentals side, Hyundai boasts a market cap of ₹2,07,145 crore, sales of ₹69,192 crore, and a profit after tax (PAT) of ₹5,640 crore. Its return ratios stand out, with an ROE of 41.8% and ROCE of 54%—among the best in the auto sector.

Hyundai has been deeply integrated into India’s growth story since 1996, selling over 13 million cars domestically. India now contributes 14.6% of Hyundai’s global sales, equal to its entire European market, while also serving as its largest overseas production hub. With two factories in Chennai and a new Pune plant adding 170,000 units, annual capacity will cross one million units in 2025.

Exports remain a critical pillar—1 in 5 Indian-made Hyundais is shipped abroad, with 3.7 million cars exported to over 150 countries since 1999. Localization has also become a strength, with 200 suppliers, 1,200 localized components, and an 81.2% localization rate, bolstering India’s “Make in India” vision.

Hyundai is also charging into the EV era. The Creta EV and Ioniq 5 will soon hit Indian roads, supported by 554 dealer charging outlets across 239 cities and access to 14,000+ charging points. Its investment in an EV battery research center at IIT Delhi underscores its commitment to future-ready mobility.

Sustainability is another cornerstone, with 77% of Hyundai India’s energy already sourced from renewables, targeting RE100 compliance by year-end. Its Chennai plant aims for 100% water self-sufficiency by 2030.

Looking ahead, Hyundai’s Investor Day on October 15, 2025, will unveil its mid-term roadmap. With robust momentum, strong fundamentals, and ambitious EV and sustainability targets, Hyundai looks well-positioned to steer India’s auto growth story while rewarding long-term investors.
