Marking the 30th year of its presence in the country, Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) reaffirmed its long-standing partnership with the Tamil Nadu Government and committed to making the Southern state its ‘Flagship EV Hub for India.’ The announcement was made following a meeting between the firm's officials and Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay at the Chief Minister's Office. HMIL emphasized its continued investment of over ₹26,000 crore in Tamil Nadu over the period of 2023 to 2032, which is a part of the ₹45,000 crore investment announced by the Company. The Tamil Nadu Government and HMIL also jointly announced an exclusive Skill Development collaboration to enhance the global employability of Tamil Nadu’s youth. This initiative will kick off operations in December 2027.&nbsp;“HMIL’s initiatives will strengthen Tamil Nadu’s leadership in sustainable mobility and automotive excellence, while also accelerating skill development to foster a future-ready workforce. We will roll out two new models from the Chennai facility, including our first mass-market dedicated EV within this year, marking a significant step towards accelerating EV adoption and building a strong EV ecosystem. Alongside, advancing EV localization, we are equally focused on developing a future-ready skilled workforce, enabling talent to support future automotive technologies," said Tarun Garg, MD &amp; CEO – HMIL.&nbsp;To promote the adoption of EVs, the firm said that it has established a DC fast EV charging ecosystem in Tamil Nadu with 39 stations and 78 charging points. HMIL said it is well positioned to further expand coverage across all major cities and highways over the next 2–3 years, in line with its plans to broaden affordable EV offerings in India.&nbsp;Committing to enhance localization across both EV and ICE manufacturing operations, HMIL said it plans to increase localisation levels from the present 82% to 90% over the next five to six years. The company added that aims to enhance purchasing value from Tamil Nadu-based suppliers by approximately ₹4,000 crore, which is expected to create around 2,000 additional jobs in the state over the next five to six years. These efforts will significantly strengthen domestic manufacturing capabilities while reducing dependence on imported components.&nbsp;Since its inception in India, Hyundai has sold over 13.5 million units made in the country. This includes over 9.6 million units in India and over 3.9 million units exported to 150 countries, reinforcing India’s role in Hyundai’s global success - as India’s largest exporter of passenger vehicles on a cumulative basis.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Hyundai commits to make Tamil Nadu its ‘Flagship EV Hub for India'

Hyundai Motor Group announced it to roll out human-like robots in its factories from 2028. The announcement comes while showing off Atlas, a humanoid robot developed by Boston Dynamics, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas on Monday. It is the development to come in the race of the new technology used by different giant firms.&nbsp;Hyundai stated that it "plans to integrate Atlas across its global network", along with a plant in the US state of Georgia that was part of a massive immigration raid in 2025. Firms like Amazon, Tesla, and Chinese car-making giant BYD said that they will use humanoid robots in their operations.&nbsp;Hyundai confirmed that the Atlas robots will gradually take on more tasks. The firm owns a majority of its stake in Boston Dynamics, the technology company prominent for Spot, the robot dog. It is also being developed to work alongside people and autonomously manage machines, according to a report in the BBC.&nbsp;The company said the robots are expected to reduce physical stress on workers, take on hazardous duties and support the broader adoption of robotic technology. The company did not disclose how many robots would be rolled out initially or the cost of the initiative.&nbsp;Addressing concerns at CES, Hyundai vice chairman Jaehoon Chang said fears about robots replacing human jobs were understandable, but stressed that people would still be required for tasks such as training and supervising the machines, Reuters reported.<h3>Hyundai’s workers are detained</h3>The announcement follows Hyundai’s statement in 2025 that it would invest more than $20 billion (£15.5 billion) in the United States, aligning with President Donald Trump’s push to expand domestic manufacturing. It also said that the investment would include boosting vehicle production in the US and funding advances in autonomous driving and artificial intelligence. Tesla, led by Elon Musk, has also poured significant resources into its humanoid robot project, Optimus.&nbsp;Hyundai’s Georgia battery plant, run jointly with electronics major LG, is among its most important US facilities. In September 2025, US immigration authorities raided the site and detained hundreds of workers, including at least 300 South Korean nationals, resulting in outrage in South Korea.&nbsp;In response to it, President Lee Jae Myung and Hyundai's chief executive José Muñoz warned that the raid could hamper foreign investment in the US. However, Washington and Seoul later reached an agreement to release the detained workers.

Hyundai Motor Group announces to roll out humanoid robots in US factories from 2028: Here's why

The Seoul city government said on Tuesday that it has approved the long-delayed construction of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/business-economy/hyundai-motor-group-to-invest-35-billion-in-future-automotive-tech-256032">Hyundai&nbsp;Motor Group's</a> new headquarters in the affluent district of&nbsp;Gangnam, which is set to be&nbsp;South&nbsp;Korea's&nbsp;tallest&nbsp;skyscraper&nbsp;when completed in 2026.

The 569-meter&nbsp;building will break ground in the first half of 2020, Seoul city said in a statement.

The approval came more than four years after&nbsp;Hyundai&nbsp;Motor Group,&nbsp;South&nbsp;Korea's&nbsp;second-largest conglomerate, offered to purchase the site with $10 billion in 2014, more than triple it's market price, outbidding <a href="https://www.wionews.com/business-economy/samsung-electronics-third-quarter-net-profit-slumps-52-258964">Samsung Electronics Co Ltd</a> and sparking a stock sell-off.

The construction, originally scheduled to commence in 2016, was delayed partly due to security concerns raised by&nbsp;South&nbsp;Korea's&nbsp;air force, which said the&nbsp;building would interfere with radar and military operations, a Seoul city official said.

Hyundai&nbsp;signed an agreement with the defense ministry to resolve operational restrictions until the construction of the&nbsp;building has reached around 260 meters high, the official said, adding that the construction can be suspended should&nbsp;Hyundai&nbsp;fail to do so.

The&nbsp;building, consisting of 105 floors, will house not only offices but a car theme park, a hotel, a concert hall and a convention center, according to its 2014 plan. It will be home to 18,000 employees from 30 affiliates of the conglomerate, it said at the time.

Hyundai&nbsp;Motor said in March that it was in talks with potential investors to share additional investment costs worth about 3.7 trillion won needed to develop its new headquarters, following a call by US&nbsp;hedge fund Elliott Management Corp to drop the controversial project.

Hyundai&nbsp;Motor is trying to rebound from its sixth consecutive annual profit declines while accelerating its investments in future technologies.

Hyundai&nbsp;said it "will continue to work closely with the Seoul Metropolitan Government to proceed with the project in compliance with the administrative procedures.”
