The company’s India headquarters has a total built-up area of 28,000 sq ft, perhaps the largest for a multinational auto company, and features green elements such as 50 kW solar panels on the roof, 14 charging units for electric vehicles, and A 400 sqm ‘green wall’ with plants.
SS Kim, MD and CEO of the company said, “With a strong commitment to people and the environment, this headquarters will be a focal point of innovation and realizing Hyundai India’s vision of ‘Progress for the People, Prosperity for the Planet’. ”
Hyundai’s entry into Haryana’s corporate setup comes at a time when Maruti Suzuki plans to invest up to Rs 18,000 crore for a one-million-capacity factory complex in the state.
Maruti is investing as part of plans to shift its Gurugram plant (the company’s oldest and first car plant) and move to a new large and modern manufacturing setup, its chairman RC Bhargava told TOI recently.
