“A true example of Make in India, exports in September soared by nearly 44% YoY to 18,800 units, marking our highest export volume in the past 33 months since December 2022,” Tarun Garg, Wholetime Director and Chief Operating Officer of HMIL, said in a statement.
Domestic sales saw a slight increase of just 446 vehicles from 51,101 units sold in the corresponding period last year to 51,547 in September this year.
The company also reported its highest-ever domestic SUV sales penetration at 72.4% in September. The CRETA led with a record 18,861 units sold during the month, while the VENUE registered a 20-month high of 11,484 units.Garg said the government’s recent GST reforms have induced a “synergetic alignment” enabling both domestic and export markets to grow together.
“This synchronised growth of SUVs as well as exports sales underscores HMIL’s strategic importance as Hyundai Motor Company’s global manufacturing hub – a shining example of ‘Make in India, Made for the World,” he added.
Hyundai Motor India posted a net profit of ₹1,369 crore for the first quarter of FY26, down 8% from ₹1,489.6 crore a year ago.
