Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) filed its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for FY26 with the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited on August 03, 2026, outlining a strategic capital expenditure plan of ₹45,000 million between FY26 and FY30. This investment aims to expand manufacturing capacity from 9.94 lakh units to 11.44 lakh units by 2030 and accelerate the company’s transition to electric mobility, positioning India as a central hub in Hyundai’s global manufacturing footprint. The filing, submitted pursuant to Regulation 34 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, also confirms that HMIL achieved 100% renewable energy coverage across its operations in FY26.

The report, which forms part of the Annual Report for the financial year 2025-26, was independently assured by TÜV SÜD South Asia Pvt Ltd., which provided reasonable assurance on the nine core attributes of the BRSR framework. The verification process, conducted between April 22, 2026, and June 15, 2026, covered HMIL’s headquarters in Gurugram, its Chennai manufacturing plant, and the newly operationalized Talegaon facility in Pune. The Pune plant, which began operations in 2025, contributed to a 3.92% increase in total energy consumption compared to the previous year, reflecting the scale-up of production activities.

Financial and Operational Highlights

HMIL’s business remains heavily concentrated in passenger car manufacturing, which accounted for 88.05% of turnover, while the sale of vehicle parts and accessories contributed 4.92%. Exports constituted 25.25% of total turnover, with vehicles shipped to 72 countries. The company maintains a paid-up capital of ₹8,125,411,000. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) spending reached ₹896.8 million in FY26, impacting over 2.5 million people across 28 states and five Union Territories through initiatives focused on healthcare, skill development, and environmental sustainability.

Environmental Performance

HMIL achieved RE100 status in FY26, neutralizing market-based Scope 2 emissions to zero through a combination of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) procurement, solar procurement, and International Renewable Energy Certificates (IRECs). While location-based Scope 2 emissions were recorded at 56,049.53 tCO2e, total Scope 1 emissions stood at 29,670.21 tCO2e. The company reported total energy consumption from renewable sources at 1,167,485.4 GJ. Energy intensity per rupee of turnover decreased slightly to 0.0000028 GJ/INR from 0.0000029 GJ/INR in FY25. Water consumption totaled 1,637,972.00 kiloliters, with water intensity per rupee of turnover at 0.000002374 KL/INR.

Workforce and Governance

As of the end of FY26, HMIL employed 4,068 permanent employees, comprising 3,779 males (92.9%) and 289 females (7.1%). The Board of Directors included 25% female representation. The company reported zero fatalities and zero high-consequence work-related injuries. The Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) for employees was 0.11 per one million-person hours worked. Grievance mechanisms remained active, with 22,775 customer complaints filed during the year, of which 25 remained pending resolution at year-end. Employee-related grievances totaled 660 filings, with 69 pending.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between location-based and market-based Scope 2 emissions highlights HMIL’s aggressive procurement strategy for renewable energy certificates and PPAs. While operational emissions (Scope 1) rose slightly to 29,670.21 tCO2e from 28,275.00 tCO2e in FY25—likely due to the new Pune plant operations—the complete neutralization of market-based Scope 2 emissions demonstrates effective financial hedging against carbon transition risks. Additionally, the significant increase in R&D spend allocated to EV-related technologies (30% of total R&D) signals a strategic pivot toward electric mobility, aligning with the broader ₹45,000 million capex commitment.

Hyundai Motor India Limited reported its highest-ever monthly total sales of 75,360 units in July, marking a robust 25.4% year-on-year growth compared to 60,073 units in the same period last year. The result significantly surpassed analyst estimates of 49,000 units, underscoring strong consumer demand across both domestic and international markets and reinforcing the company's position in the Indian automotive sector.

The sales figure comprises domestic sales of 54,210 units, which grew 23.3% year-on-year to set a new high for any July. Additionally, export sales reached 21,150 units, up 31.4% year-on-year, representing the highest monthly export volume recorded by the company in more than 100 months. Tarun Garg, Managing Director and CEO of Hyundai Motor India Limited, attributed the performance to immense consumer trust in the brand and a commitment to the "Make-in-India, Made-for-the-World" strategy.
