Hyundai India Car Sales Dip by 11 Percent in August 2025

In August 2025, Hyundai's domestic sales fell to 44,001 units, marking an 11.15% decline from the 49,525 units sold in August 2024. This drop indicates a continuing trend of decreasing domestic demand for Hyundai vehicles in the Indian market.

Hyundai's export sales have shown a positive trend, with a notable 20.87% increase in August 2025 compared to the same month in the previous year. The company exported 16,500 units in August 2025, up from 13,650 units in August 2024, indicating a growing acceptance of Hyundai's products in global markets.

Hyundai has focused on enhancing its export capabilities and establishing India as a strategic manufacturing base for emerging economies. The company aims to become Hyundai’s largest export hub outside South Korea, leveraging the 'Make in India' initiative to increase global market penetration.

Similar to Hyundai, other major players such as Maruti Suzuki and Tata Motors have also reported declines in their monthly passenger vehicle sales. Hyundai's drop was particularly pronounced, with a double-digit decline, while other competitors experienced varying degrees of sales decreases.

SUVs have been a significant growth driver for Hyundai, accounting for 66.8% of its domestic sales in 2024. Models like the Creta and Venue have contributed heavily to maintaining sales volumes, even as overall domestic sales have declined.
