Hyundai Motor India on October 30 reported a 14% year-on-year (YoY) increase in its consolidated net profit to ₹1,572 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, driven by strong export demand that helped cushion the impact of weaker domestic sales.
The company’s consolidated revenue for the quarter rose 1% YoY to ₹17,461 crore, reflecting resilient overseas performance despite softening local demand.
At 2:45 PM on October 30, shares of Hyundai Motor India were trading 1.6% higher at ₹2,395 apiece.
🚗 Domestic Weakness vs. Export Strength
During the September quarter, Hyundai’s overall vehicle sales volume declined marginally, with domestic sales falling nearly 7% amid a slowdown in India’s passenger vehicle market. The company’s performance mirrored a broader industry trend, as most carmakers reported muted or single-digit profit growth for the fifth straight quarter.
Exports, however, remained a major growth driver, with shipments rising 21.5% YoY. Hyundai retained its position as India’s second-largest car exporter, supported by robust overseas demand for its compact SUVs and sedans.
SUVs — which generate higher profit margins — contributed 71% of Hyundai’s total sales volumes, up from 69% a year ago, underscoring a shift in consumer preference toward premium and utility models.
🌏 Expansion and Outlook
Hyundai, India’s third-largest automaker, aims to make the country its global export hub, targeting 30% of local production for overseas markets by 2030.
Earlier this month, the company unveiled a $5 billion investment plan over the next five years, focused on expanding its product portfolio with hybrid vehicles, electric models, and the launch of its luxury brand Genesis in India.
The automaker continues to face competitive pressure from both established players and new entrants, as consumer preferences evolve toward cleaner, tech-driven vehicles. However, the recent GST rate cut, effective from late September, is expected to boost domestic demand in the coming quarters.
