Hyundai clocks record April sales in India with 51,902 units, up 17% YoY

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has reported its highest-ever domestic sales for the month of April, registering 51,902 units in April 2026. This marks a strong 17 per cent year-on-year growth, signalling a robust start to the new financial year for the automaker.

In addition to its domestic performance, the company exported 13,708 units during the same month, underlining its continued importance as a global production and export hub.

A key contributor to this milestone was the Hyundai Venue, which recorded its highest-ever monthly domestic sales at 12,420 units. The strong demand for the model has been supported by recent updates and its 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating, further strengthening its appeal in the competitive compact SUV segment.

According to Tarun Garg, the company has carried forward its recent momentum into the new fiscal year. He noted that the positive response to newer offerings and special editions, including the Exter, Verna, Ioniq 5, Creta Summer Edition, Grand i10 Nios Vibe Edition, and Venue Knight Edition, has played a significant role in driving volumes.

The brand has been steadily refreshing its portfolio across segments, from hatchbacks to EVs, which is helping maintain its competitive edge in a crowded market.

Looking ahead, HMIL says it remains committed to delivering future-ready mobility solutions, improved safety standards, and an enhanced ownership experience.
