South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor India (HMIL) announced on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, that it has commenced passenger vehicle production at its Talegaon plant in Maharashtra. The facility, located at Plot No. A-16, MIDC, Talegaon Industrial Area, Phase-II Expansion, Tehsil-Maval, Pune District, has an installed annual capacity of 1,70,000 units.

Expansion Of Talegaon Facility

The latest milestone follows Hyundai’s earlier announcement on June 16, 2025, when it began production of passenger vehicle engines at the same site. At that time, the company had stated that a separate intimation would be made for vehicle assembly. With the new update, HMIL has confirmed that full passenger vehicle production is now operational at Talegaon.

Acquisition From General Motors

The Talegaon plant was acquired from General Motors India through an asset purchase agreement signed in 2023. The deal was completed in January 2024. Previously, the site had an annual capacity of 1.3 lakh units under GM. Hyundai has committed to phased investments aimed at modernising infrastructure and upgrading manufacturing equipment to meet future demand.

General Motors’ Exit from India

General Motors had ceased sales operations in India by the end of 2017 as part of its global restructuring strategy. The company had earlier attempted to sell the plant to Chinese automaker Great Wall Motors, but the deal was cancelled after Great Wall dropped its India entry plans. Hyundai’s acquisition has now brought the facility back into mainstream automotive production.

On October 1, 2025, Hyundai Motor India share price closed at ₹2,537.05, down by ₹46.50 or 1.80% on the BSE.

Conclusion

The commencement of vehicle manufacturing at Hyundai’s Talegaon facility strengthens the automaker’s footprint in India, expanding its production capacity to meet growing domestic demand. By investing in modernisation and leveraging the plant’s strategic location, Hyundai is positioning itself for long-term growth in one of the world’s largest automotive markets.
