Hyundai has devised 26 new launches and major updates for India over the next 4 years with the product cycle composing electric, hybrid and conventional powertrains. The plan includes an India-specific electric SUV this festive season, another midsize SUV with ICE engines and the next generation Creta which is already under development. Hyundai will also expand local production and sourcing as more products are in line to enter its Indian lineup.
The India-specific electric SUV will become one of the earliest launches from this plan when it arrives later this year. Hyundai has developed the model specifically for the local market and will position it in a high volume segment. The SUV will feature the company’s next-gen Pleos-based infotainment technology along with Level 2 assisted driving functions. Speculations suggest two battery pack options and a claimed range of more than 500 km.
The fourth generation Creta is another model under development and could introduce Hyundai’s first full-hybrid powertrain in India. The five-seat midsize SUV is expected early next year with rumours pointing to a strong hybrid option alongside conventional engines. Hyundai is also expected to add the all-new Bayon to its Indian range soon as well with the crossover positioned between the Venue and Creta.

The brand’s local plans sit within a global schedule encompassing more than 100 launches and updates over the same period. The international powertrain combination will include battery electric vehicles, hybrids and extended-range electric vehicles. Hyundai plans to introduce its first global EREV in the first half of 2027. The domestic production capacity will also increase as the new models arrive.
The Korean auto major currently has annual capacity of around 11 lakh vehicles in India and plans to add another 3.20 lakh units by 2030. The increased number of launches will help address more segments and will aid in garnering more volume sales in the coming years as the next-gen Grand i10 Nios is also in the works. The company has also set a 90 per cent local sourcing target for the end of the decade.

Exports are expected to account for around 30 per cent of Indian production by 2030.
