Tarun Garg, Whole-time Director and Chief Operating Officer of HMIL, attributed the robust performance to the recent GST 2.0 reforms. "We extend our sincere gratitude to the Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi Ji for the transformative GST 2.0 reforms, which have given wings to the aspirations of millions of people around the country." noted Garg

Garg added that the reforms have created a "synergetic alignment of both domestic and export markets now growing in tandem a true double-engine growth." He highlighted that strong festive demand and customer interest across all segments supported domestic volumes, while exports reflected India's growing stature as a global hub for Hyundai.

This synchronized growth of SUVs as well as export sales underscores HMIL's strategic importance says Garg. The company emphasized that its sales performance validates the role of GST 2.0 reforms in boosting automotive demand, especially in the SUV segment which continues to dominate consumer preference in India.

In addition to SUVs, Hyundai said it remains focused on aligning its portfolio with evolving consumer aspirations, while leveraging India's skilled workforce to support global markets. (ANI)
