Hyundai sales cross 50,000 in May

Hyundai Motor India’s May sales including exports crossed the 50,000 with domestic numbers accounting for 42,293 units.

The Korean carmaker’s exports numbers at close to 9,000 units was 57 percent above year-earlier month numbers.

The carmaker also discontinued its Santro hatchback as a result of declining buyer interest.

Both HMI plants in Chennai observed the scheduled biannual maintenance shut down leading to six no-production in the month 16th May to 21st May. This reduced the vehicle availability in the month affecting May sales numbers (both for domestic as well as exports). The company is gearing up for the price announcement of its refreshed Venue which is slated for June 16, 2022.
