Hyundai Motor India on Monday announced it had sold 6,883 units in the domestic market in the month of May and that another 5,700 units had been exported in the same period. After what was a tumultuous April for almost every automotive manufacturer, sales figures from May come as some respite even if these are only a pale shadow of pre-Covid-19-times.

Hyundai, much like other OEMs, had resumed production and other operations in a gradual manner around mid May. Its plant in Sriperumbudur plant near Chennai resumed work on May 8 and the company had previously informed that 5,600 vehicles had been delivered in the next 22 days. On Saturday (May 30), the company had said it had also exported 5,000 units and had highlighted its commitment to 'Make in India' campaign.
