Gurugram — If there was ever a time for Hyundai Motor India Limited to pop the hood and admire its own engine, this is it. The automaker has clocked its highest-ever quarterly domestic sales, proving that the momentum in India’s auto market is less of a speed bump and more of a highway sprint.
In the January–March 2026 quarter (Q4 FY2025–26), HMIL registered total sales of 2,08,275 units, marking a healthy 8.7% year-on-year growth. Of this, domestic sales stood at a record-breaking 1,66,578 units, up 8.5% YoY, making it the company’s strongest quarterly domestic performance since it first turned the ignition in India.
Exports, too, joined the party rather enthusiastically, contributing 41,697 units, reflecting a 9.4% YoY growth—a reminder that Hyundai’s global appetite remains as strong as its Indian fanbase.
March Madness, Hyundai Style
March 2026 turned out to be more than just the financial year-end rush—it became Hyundai’s personal victory lap. The company reported total monthly sales of 69,004 units, growing 2.5% YoY.
What truly stole the spotlight was the domestic tally of 55,064 units, the highest-ever for any March month in Hyundai India’s history, growing 6.3% YoY. Exports for the month stood at 13,940 units, completing a well-balanced performance.
In simple terms, while many of us were busy closing Excel sheets, Hyundai was busy closing records.
Driving Forward with Confidence
Commenting on the milestone, Tarun Garg, MD & CEO of HMIL, said the company is riding strong on the momentum built in 2026. He highlighted Hyundai’s confidence in sustaining this growth trajectory, backed by recent product updates like the Hyundai Verna and Hyundai Exter.
Even as global uncertainties continue to hover like unpredictable traffic signals, Hyundai seems well-prepared to navigate ahead with a mix of aspirational design, connected tech, and customer-first innovation.
The Road Ahead
With record-breaking numbers in its rearview mirror and refreshed models in its lineup, Hyundai is clearly not easing off the accelerator. If Q4 FY26 is any indication, FY27 could very well be another chapter of “full throttle” growth.
And if March 2026 taught us anything, it’s this: when Hyundai says it’s ending the financial year strong, it doesn’t just mean strong—it means record-breaking strong, with a slight grin and a lot of horsepower.
