Hyundai Motor India

Hyundai Motor India formally inaugurated its Talegaon manufacturing facility in Pune, Maharashtra on 14 October 2026 in a ceremony led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis alongside Hyundai Motor Group leadership. The company said the plant had installed capacity of 170,000 units and would be expanded in phases to 320,000 units by 2030 with investment of up to Rs 11,000 crore, taking combined Chennai and Pune capacity to nearly 1.14 million units. The facility exclusively manufactured the new Venue for domestic sales and exports and housed an engine shop with annual capacity of 150,000 units. The company acquired the Talegaon site and operated the Pune plant at 170,000 units within total capacity of 994,000 units alongside Chennai's 824,000 units. Hyundai Motor Group announced a USD 15.5 billion India ecosystem programme for 2026-2032 a day earlier covering manufacturing expansion and research infrastructure. The inauguration coincided with milestones of nearly 10 million domestic sales and 4 million cumulative passenger vehicle exports since 1999. Revenue was Rs 707.6 billion in the year to March 2026, with sport-utility vehicles accounting for about 71% of domestic volume in the June quarter.

Sept 24 (Reuters) - National Stock Exchange of India NSEI.BO shares rose as much as 5% on their trading debut on Thursday, after a $2.3 billion IPO, the country's second-biggest.

The stock listed on the BSE at 1,800 Indian rupees ($18.77), a premium of less than 1% to its IPO price.

Here's a look at the debut market performance of companies after large IPOs of more than $1 billion.

HYUNDAI MOTOR INDIA

Hyundai Motor India's HYUN.NS shares fell more than 7% on their 2024 debut after the country's largest-ever IPO drew muted response from retail investors.

Concerns over a rich valuation and an industry slowdown weighed on sentiment. Its South Korean parent 005380.KS raised 278.7 billion rupees ($2.91 billion) by selling a 17.5% stake in a pure offer-for-sale, where existing investors sell their stakes.

As of last close, Hyundai Motor India has gained about 7% over IPO price.

LIFE INSURANCE CORPORATION OF INDIA

Life Insurance Corp of India LIFI.NS, India's biggest insurance company, slid nearly 8% in its 2022 debut, despite strong demand for what was then the country's largest IPO.

The government raised about 205 billion rupees by selling a 3.5% stake in the state-owned insurer, well below its initial target of up to $12 billion.

LIC traded at 407.5 rupees, reflecting an adjusted price level following a 1:1 bonus issue in May.

PAYTM

Digital-payments firm Paytm PAYT.NS suffered one of India's worst large-cap market debuts in 2021, plunging more than 27% after its $2.5 billion IPO.

It intensified concerns over aggressive valuations, particularly among loss-making technology companies.

Paytm is down 17.5% since its debut.

TATA CAPITAL

Tata Capital TATC.NS gained a modest 1.4% on its debut in October 2025, as a crowded issuance calendar and limited valuation discount to listed peers curbed investor enthusiasm.

Its $1.75 billion IPO coincided with LG Electronics India's LGEL.NS $1.3 billion offering, which drew nearly $50 billion in bids.

Tata Capital is up 7.4% since listing.

COAL INDIA

State-run Coal India COAL.NS, the world's biggest coal miner, surged 40% on its listing day in November 2010, as investors snapped up a stock that is a proxy for surging growth and energy demand in India.

The largest IPO from the government at that time set the stage for the public listing of other state-owned entities.

Coal India has gained 73.3% since its market debut.

Updates to add details from NSE IPO

MUMBAI, Sept 11 (Reuters) - National Stock Exchange (NSE), India's largest stock exchange, will open its initial public offering next week.

The offer-for-sale, which does not include any fresh capital being raised, will value NSE at close to $46 billion, which would make it the country's third-largest IPO.

Billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Jio Platforms IPO, likely later this year, is expected to raise about $3.8 billion, making it the country's biggest-ever stock offering.

Here are the five largest Indian IPOs to date:

HYUNDAI MOTOR INDIA

Hyundai HYUN.NS, the world's third-largest automaker and India's fourth-biggest passenger vehicle maker, raised 278.7 billion rupees ($2.95 billion) in October 2024 in what is currently India's biggest-ever IPO.

The manufacturer's South Korean parent 005380.KS sold a 17.5% stake in a pure offer-for-sale, where existing shareholders sell shares and no new capital is raised. Jio Platforms is expected to use a similar approach, with the company's major investors set to dilute their stakes.

LIFE INSURANCE CORPORATION OF INDIA

The government pocketed roughly 205 billion rupees ($2.17 billion) from selling a 3.5% stake in India's largest insurer and biggest domestic financial investor LIFI.NS, a far cry from its initial target of up to $12 billion.

The shares slid nearly 8% on their debut.

PAYTM

Paytm PAYT.NS, an Indian fintech firm, raised 183 billion rupees in November 2021 in a mix of a fresh share issue and an offer for sale. Ant Group reduced its stake to 23% from 28% and SoftBank's Vision Fund pared its holding to 16%.

Paytm lost more than 27% on its debut, the biggest listing-day drop in Indian IPO history at the time.

TATA CAPITAL

The Tata Group's financial services arm TATC.NS raised 155 billion rupees in October 2025, with Tata Sons and IFC among those selling in the offer for sale component alongside a fresh issue. The IPO was the largest-ever by a non-banking financial company in India. The shares listed at a slight premium of 1.23%.

LG ELECTRONICS INDIA

South Korean parent LG Electronics 066570.KS offloaded a 15% stake in its Indian unit LGEL.NS, a maker of refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and televisions, in a pure offer for sale issue, netting 116 billion rupees in October 2025.

The IPO was oversubscribed 54 times — the most heavily subscribed major Indian IPO since Reliance Power's listing in 2008 — attracting bids worth about 4.4 trillion rupees.

LG's shares surged 50% on their first day of trading, valuing the unit higher than its Seoul-based parent.

Sept 10 (Reuters) - Some top investors in India's National Stock Exchange (NSE) are reducing the number of shares they will be selling in the bourse's upcoming IPO as they expect the shares to rise after listing compared to the low offer price, three sources said.

NSE's IPO will be an offer-for-sale by existing shareholders with no fresh capital being raised. Shares will likely be priced in a band of 1,700-1,785 rupees per share, Reuters reported on Wednesday.

At the upper end of the price band, NSE's IPO will be worth 226 billion Indian rupees ($2.37 billion). It will likely trail a public offering by Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Jio expected to raise $3.8 billion and Hyundai Motor India's HYUN.NS $3.3 billion issue of 2024.

The shareholders who have reduced the number of shares they are selling in the offer for sale this month include National Insurance Co. of India, General Insurance Company, Stock Holding Corporation, MS Strategic (Mauritius) - a Morgan Stanley fund - and Singapore-based Mahogany Ltd, two of the people said.

The sources declined to be identified as they are not authorised to speak to the media. The NSE and all the shareholders named by the sources did not immediately respond to email requests for comment.

Indian lenders Bank of Baroda and Indian Bank have also reduced their planned share sales, they said in notifications to the local stock exchange.

The overall issue size will be reduced to 5.2% of NSE's total equity capital from 6% earlier, the sources said. Shareholders will now sell 126 million shares compared with 149 million earlier, one of the sources said.

The primary reason for the reduced share sales is the lower-than-expected price band, a second source said.

"These shareholders believe they will get better valuation in secondary market post listing," the source said.

In an informal market where unlisted shares of NSE trade, the price has ranged from 2,000 rupees to 2,100 rupees, according to recent deals.

Tighter market rules have weighed on the likely pricing of the issue, all three sources said.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India last year announced tighter curbs on retail participation in the options trading market. Tighter bank funding curbs, higher taxes on derivatives trading and India's newly launched closing auction session have also weighed on trading volumes.

"A drop in options volume is driving the valuation lower, and closing auction only worsened it," said one of the three sources.

Over 60% of the exchange's revenue comes from options transaction charges. NSE options turnover fell more than 12% year-on-year in August.

Corrects paragraph 3 in September 7 story to identify Sai Giridhar as FADA President, not Vice President

By Abhinav Parmar

Sept 7 (Reuters) - Sales of alternative-fuel passenger vehicles outpaced petrol-powered cars in India in August for the first time, an auto dealers' body said on Monday, as the Middle East war raised oil prices and a public backlash against higher-ethanol-content fuel simmered.

Alternative-fuel models, including compressed natural gas, hybrid and electric models, accounted for nearly 42% of passenger-vehicle sales, while petrol vehicles stood at about 41%, according to the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), which represents dealers of major car and two-wheeler makers.

"This shift was bound to happen," FADA President Sai Giridhar told Reuters.

While E20-related concerns may have initially accelerated buyers' move away from petrol, the trend was being sustained by a wider choice of alternative-fuel models, improved EV range and a gradual expansion of charging infrastructure, he said.

The world's third-largest car market's transition to E20 petrol, which contains 20% ethanol, from E10 is aimed at reducing reliance on imported crude but has drawn criticism from owners of older vehicles, who are concerned that the blend could reduce fuel economy.

The government earlier dismissed the backlash, calling it "wild claims" and asking people to not "fall for the rage bait".

RECORD AUGUST SALES

India's automobile retail sales rose 17.5% year-on-year in August to 2.4 million, a record for the month.

This was despite leading auto companies rolling out price hikes this year to cope with elevated input costs.

Giridhar, however, warned that further price hikes risked eroding gains from last year's tax reforms introduced to fuel consumption.

The country's largest carmaker, Maruti Suzuki India MRTI.NS on Monday said it will raise prices of select models by up to 20,000 rupees ($211.80) from September, its third hike since May.

India is heading into its annual festive season, a period that typically spurs big-ticket purchases.

Giridhar said despite inflationary pressures and price increases, dealers remain optimistic about sales.

Passenger-vehicle inventory increased by five days from end-July levels to about 38–40 days, FADA said.

Adds details from paragraph 2 onwards

Aug 21 (Reuters) - India's Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles TAMO.NS will raise prices of cars and SUVs across its portfolio by up to 25,000 rupees ($261.23) from September 1, the car maker said on Friday, with the extent of the hike varying by model and variant.

Here are some details:

• The Nexon EV maker said the price increase aimed to partially offset rising input costs and persistent commodity inflation amid continued geopolitical uncertainty.

• Indian automakers have increasingly raised vehicle prices this year as cost pressures persist. Rival Hyundai Motor India HYUN.NS on Wednesday announced its third price increase of 2026, while market leader Maruti Suzuki MRTI.NS has implemented two portfolio-wide hikes in recent months.

• Auto makers have cited inflationary pressures, higher commodity prices, elevated operating costs, and disruptions to global trade and energy markets linked to the Iran war as factors driving up costs.

• The car maker said it had sought to absorb rising costs but was now passing on part of the burden to customers through the latest revision.

• The increase marks the auto maker's third price hike this year, after a 0.5% raise in its internal combustion engine portfolio from April 1 and a further 1.5% increase across its portfolio from July 1.

NEW DELHI, Aug 5 (Reuters) - India's auto industry said it would revamp numbers furnished to the government as it withdrew its first warning of damage to vehicle parts caused by contaminated ethanol-blended fuel, stoking consumer anger over the contentious policy.

Tuesday's move came hours after media reported the group's warning, sparking public uproar and forcing the petroleum ministry to issue a clarification.

"The referred numbers reported in the media need authentication," the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers said in a statement, "... and therefore SIAM is withdrawing its earlier communication."

SIAM, which sent its warning on July 28, and the recipient, India's petroleum ministry, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

With their letter, seen by Reuters, India's automakers accept for the first time issues stemming from a mandatory policy that sparked street protests, legal cases and consumer anger after the government rolled it out at 90,000 fuel pumps.

The lobby group did not deny the issue of contamination in its statement, but said some numbers quoted "need authentication through collection of elaborate data ... across the country followed by a comprehensive consultation".

The group, whose members include Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Toyota Motor Corp and Mercedes Benz, did not say when the efforts would be completed, however.

QUESTIONS FROM VEHICLE OWNERS

Vehicle owners are at best sceptical about the U-turn.

"​Did the science change overnight, or did the ministry call?" Nachiket Deshpande, one of dozens of angry social media users, asked on X.

The policy of blending 20% ethanol in petrol to yield a product called E20 replaced E10 nationwide in 2025.

That was well ahead of a 2030 deadline as Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government sought to cut costly petroleum imports, although E20-compliant cars had only begun hitting the roads in 2023.

The rollout provoked uproar instead among consumers who blame the fuel for mileage drops and vehicle damage, with many demanding a choice of lower ethanol blends, particularly for vehicles that cannot use E20.

The government sought to soothe the concerns with press statements and social media campaigns, drafting in executives from leading carmakers such as Maruti and Hyundai to defend the roll-out at a July press conference.

WARNINGS OF CORROSION OR WEAR

In its missive to the ministry, the group warned of elevated chloride and moisture levels in E20 fuel sold at retail outlets nationwide.

"Members are observing a huge increase in the issues in customer vehicle parts and replacement. Investigations ... reveal the failure is due to corrosion or wear caused by high chloride presence which is traced to the fuel used," it said.

Car parts in direct contact with the fuel or engine emissions suffered the most, "specifically after E20 implementation", it added.

It also flagged high moisture levels in the fuel that it said could immobilise the vehicle immediately after fuelling, calling on the ministry for tougher quality checks against contamination.

Fuel quality is monitored on a regular basis by oil marketing companies and only two cases of chloride contamination were found in a sample of 2,000 tests, the ministry had said on social media on Tuesday.

Speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity on Wednesday, a senior government official called the fuel concerns a "misinformation campaign" against E20, playing out mainly on social media with no real evidence in cars on the road.

Adds details paragraph 2 onwards

July 31 (Reuters) - Shares of Hyundai Motor India HYUN.NS jumped 7.2% on Friday after analysts said earnings were likely to improve from the current quarter, with volume growth expected to pick up in the second half of the fiscal year.

Shares of the Creta SUV maker were trading at 2,164.50 rupees as of 09:48 a.m. IST, and were set for their best day since August 2025.

Hyundai Motor India on Thursday posted a 35% drop in quarterly profit in a quarter that was hit by a supplier fire that disrupted production at one of the company's plants, softer exports and higher commodity costs.

However, the company retained its full year operating margin outlook of 11%-14% and volume growth forecast of 8%-10%.

Analysts and investors focussed on that, with many saying that the automaker's new product pipeline, export recovery and capacity expansion were expected to support a growth from the second half of the year onwards.

The "sun" should rise after the festive season in India, analysts at CLSA said, maintaining its "outperform" rating and raising its target price to 2,300 rupees.

Meanwhile, rival Mahindra & Mahindra MAHM.NS posted a strong June-quarter performance on robust demand for its high-margin sport utility vehicles, despite margin pressure from higher steel and rubber costs.

Analysts said strong execution, market-share gains, capacity expansion plans and a resilient tractor outlook offset concerns over commodity inflation.

The Thar SUV maker's shares rose 2.6%, helping lift the Nifty Auto index .NIFTYAUTO by 1.2%.

July 21 (Reuters) - India's top carmaker Maruti Suzuki MRTI.NS said on Tuesday it would increase vehicle prices by up to 30,000 rupees ($311.74) from August, its second portfolio-wide hike in about two months, citing sustained cost pressures.

Here are more details:

• The automaker had earlier announced a similar price hike of 30,000 rupees from June, while offering price protection to some entry-level cars

• The renewed Middle East conflict has disrupted global trade routes and energy markets, driving up prices of key inputs and pressing companies to pass on higher costs to customers

• With inflationary pressures now at elevated levels and the adverse cost environment persisting, the company has to pass on a portion of the increased costs to the market, Maruti said in a statement

• Company joins peer Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles TAMO.NS, which has also raised prices twice while Mahindra & Mahindra MAHM.NS and Hyundai Motor India HYUN.NS have raised once each

• Shares closed 0.6% higher at 13,597 rupees reversing course from earlier in the day

MUMBAI, July 4 (Reuters) - Indian government and auto industry officials on Saturday defended the mandatory rollout of petrol blended with 20% ethanol, saying years of testing and service data showed no evidence of widespread vehicle damage, despite public concerns over lower fuel efficiency and engine safety.

The fuel, known as E20, has faced rising criticism on social media in recent days, with motorists questioning whether older vehicles designed for lower ethanol blends could suffer corrosion, wear or reduced performance.

Automakers including Maruti Suzuki MRTI.NS, Hero MotorCorp HROM.NS and Toyota Kirloskar Motor said even older vehicles can run safely on E20. Maruti Suzuki, India's largest carmaker, said it had serviced more than 15 million older cars over the past two years that were not certified for E20 and found no fuel-related problems.

"As a manufacturer, we have tested E10 cars which were prevalent before 2023 on E20 fuel for all parameters and we have not found anything of concern," Rahul Bharti, Maruti Suzuki's senior executive officer for corporate affairs, said at a joint press conference with government officials.

Industry officials acknowledged a minor trade-off: E20 reduces fuel efficiency by about 3-3.5% because of its lower energy content. However, they said the fuel's higher octane rating can help carmakers design future engines with higher compression ratios, which could improve performance, torque, drivability and even fuel efficiency.

Officials also rejected viral claims that E20 had caused engine failures, saying at least one widely shared case was linked to contaminated fuel rather than standard E20.

They added that E20 is the highest ethanol blend currently tested for regular petrol vehicles and said any move to higher blends would need fresh trials.

NEW DELHI, June 29 (Reuters) - India's capital New Delhi will offer a cash incentive of over$1,000 to car owners willing to scrap their old vehicle for an EV, according to a new policy finalised by the government on Monday in a move aimed at reducing high levels of air pollution.

New Delhi is one of the world's most polluted cities with air quality worsening in the winters when dense, stagnant air traps emissions from crops burning in neighbouring states, vehicle exhaust and construction dust.

Here are some details:

• The local government in New Delhi finalises new electric vehicle policy with an outlay of 150 billion rupees ($1.59 billion) over four years to incentivise buyers of electric two-wheelers, cars and small trucks, as well as setting up EV chargers.

Adds details throughout on Jio Platforms

MUMBAI, June 19 (Reuters) - Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Jio Platforms filed regulatory papers for an IPO on Friday that sources said would raise about $3.8 billion, making it the country's biggest-ever stock offering.

Another IPO that is in the pipeline - by the National Stock Exchange of India - is likely to be worth about $3.3 billion.

Here are the five largest Indian IPOs to date:

HYUNDAI MOTOR INDIA

Hyundai HYUN.NS, the world's third-largest automaker and India's fourth-biggest passenger vehicle maker, raised 278.7 billion rupees ($2.95 billion) in October 2024 in what is currently India's biggest-ever IPO.

The manufacturer's South Korean parent 005380.KS sold a 17.5% stake in a pure offer-for-sale, where existing shareholders sell shares and no new capital is raised. Jio Platforms is expected to use a similar approach, with the company's major investors set to dilute their stakes.

LIFE INSURANCE CORPORATION OF INDIA

The government pocketed roughly 205 billion rupees ($2.17 billion) from selling a 3.5% stake in India's largest insurer and biggest domestic financial investor LIFI.NS, a far cry from its initial target of up to $12 billion.

The shares slid nearly 8% on their debut.

PAYTM

Paytm PAYT.NS, an Indian fintech firm, raised 183 billion rupees in November 2021 in a mix of a fresh share issue and an offer for sale. Ant Group reduced its stake to 23% from 28% and SoftBank's Vision Fund pared its holding to 16%.

Paytm lost more than 27% on its debut, the biggest listing-day drop in Indian IPO history at the time.

TATA CAPITAL

The Tata Group's financial services arm TATC.NS raised 155 billion rupees in October 2025, with Tata Sons and IFC among those selling in the offer for sale component alongside a fresh issue. The IPO was the largest-ever by a non-banking financial company in India. The shares listed at a slight premium of 1.23%.

LG ELECTRONICS INDIA

South Korean parent LG Electronics 066570.KS offloaded a 15% stake in its Indian unit LGEL.NS, a maker of refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and televisions, in a pure offer for sale issue, netting 116 billion rupees in October 2025.

The IPO was oversubscribed 54 times - the most heavily subscribed major Indian IPO since Reliance Power's listing in 2008 - attracting bids worth about 4.4 trillion rupees.

LG's shares surged 50% on their first day of trading, valuing the unit higher than its Seoul-based parent.

Adds details of price hikes paragraph 2 onwards

June 18 (Reuters) - India's Tata Motors TATM.NS said on Thursday it would increase prices across its commercial vehicle range by up to 2.5%, effective July 1, its second hike in three months as automakers grapple with rising costs from the Middle East war.

The hike is aimed at partially offsetting the impact of rising commodity prices and other input costs, the demerged commercial vehicle arm of the Tata group said.

It had raised prices of its commercial vehicles by up to 1.5% from April 1, also citing higher input costs.

Automakers in India have raised prices in recent months as they seek to cushion the impact of higher raw material costs, including steel and other commodities, amid war-linked cost pressures.

Last week, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles TAMO.NS said it would raise prices of its cars and SUVs, including electric vehicles, by up to 1.5% from July 1, its second hike in four months.

Rival automaker Maruti Suzuki MRTI.NS raised vehicle prices by up to 30,000 rupees ($314.42) from June, while Hyundai Motor India HYUN.NS also increased prices from June 1.
