Official's Statement

Mr. Tarun Garg, MD & CEO of HMIL, said:

"We continue to sustain strong growth momentum in FY2027, with domestic sales growing by 12.6% YoY during the April-August period. Our August domestic sales of 54,396 units (+23.6% YoY), the highest-ever figure for any August month, reflect the popularity of Hyundai's versatile product portfolio. While total exports in August were impacted by logistical constraints arising from the ongoing conflict in West Asia and the broader geo-political environment during the month, we remain optimistic that export demand will continue to be strong in the coming months as the geo-political situation improves."

Hyundai's record domestic dispatches prove its resilience despite global trade disruptions. Car Junction expects domestic demand to gain further strength during the festive quarter. Resolving export bottlenecks will be essential for Hyundai to sustain its total volume growth trajectory.

Hyundai wasn't the only automaker posting gains in August JSW MG's August 2026 sales also grew 14.14% YoY, pointing to broader festive-season momentum across the industry.
