Strong Domestic Demand Offsets Global Shipping Delays
The company’s strong performance in the domestic market offset headwinds in overseas shipments. Total export volumes fell to 11,400 units due to severe logistical bottlenecks caused by global geopolitical tensions and conflict in West Asia. Hyundai expects international shipments to recover as trade routes normalize.
HMIL’s diverse lineup, led by the popular Hyundai Creta, drove domestic demand. The carmaker is preparing a next-generation Creta for 2027, following the recent launch of the updated Venue. To expand its EV footprint, Hyundai plans to launch a localized compact electric SUV in Q4 of FY2027 targeting high-volume sales segments.
“Our August domestic sales of 54,396 units reflect the strength of our product portfolio. While exports faced logistical constraints from the ongoing West Asia conflict, we remain confident in strong overseas demand recovery in the coming months.”
— Tarun Garg, MD & CEO, Hyundai Motor India
