The entity will serve as a platform to identify outstanding local partners, support strategic partnerships and foster collaboration with excellent local suppliers, it said in a regulatory filing.

The automaker plans to expand manufacturing capacity across Hyundai Motor India Limited and Kia India to support volume growth while ensuring localization to meet India’s market demands.

It will also establish a complete R&D system in India with $700 million investment to strengthen technological competitiveness. The centre would assist Hyundai in its vehicle testing track, accelerate next-generation automotive technology development and establish India as a core innovation hub.

Hyundai is also set to strengthen local supply chain and support supplier development in India through strategic investments in regional partners, which will enhance parts localization, identify excellent local suppliers and build a stable, resilient supply-chain ecosystem.

“India remains one of Hyundai Motor Group’s most important and strategic markets globally. This investment reaffirms our commitment to India for the next 30 years and beyond. Through this investment, we will create more employment opportunities and work together with our partners and stakeholders to support India’s continued industrial development,” said Euisun Chung, Executive Chair, Hyundai Motor Group.
