According to sources close to industry as an impact of increasing competition from strong rivals like Ford and Honda, Korean car maker is aggressively working on increasing its production capacity.
The reports also reveal that company has huge plans of investment in Indian car market and is speculating to launch two to three new products annually in market and explore its potential to new segments. According to reports Korean car maker has a compact SUV and an MPV in pipeline for next year. In the words of Mr. B.S. Seo, M.D and CEO, Hyundai Motors India Limited, company’s present production unit located at Chennai has the production ability of 6.8 lakh vehicles per year, which can be further explored to 7 lakh units. According to him expansion to 7 lakh units is also an assumption and there are very less chances to do so and this limitation has compelled company to minimize its export activities to some extent.
