The company will additionally work on developing a local vendor base and adequate charging infrastructure to price these vehicles competitively and facilitate ease of ownership among customers.
Chung informed, “In all of this, HMIL will continue to be a key player of the “Make in India” initiative. As India marches toward its “Viksit Bharat 2047” vision, Hyundai will stand as a trusted partner in this meaningful journey.”
