Hyundai Motor India Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Hyundai Motor Company in India. It is the 2nd largest automobile manufacturer in India. Hyundai Motor India Limited was formed in 6 May 1996 by the Hyundai Motor Company of South Korea. When Hyundai Motor Company entered the Indian Automobile Market in 1996 the ''Hyundai'' brand was almost unknown throughout India. During the entry of Hyundai in 1996, there were only five major automobile manufacturers in India, i.e. Maruti, Hindustan, Premier, Tata and Mahindra. Daewoo had entered the Indian automobile market with Cielo just three years back while Ford, Opel and Honda had entered less than a year back. For more than a decade till Hyundai arrived, Maruti Suzuki had a near monopoly over the passenger cars segment because Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra were solely utility and commercial vehicle manufacturers, while Hindustan and Premier both built outdated and uncompetitive products. ==History== HMIL's first car, the Hyundai Santro was launched in 23 September 1998 and was a runaway success. Within a few months of its inception HMIL became the second largest automobile manufacturer and the largest automobile exporter in India. Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Company (HMC), South Korea and is the largest passenger car exporter and the second largest car manufacturer in India. HMIL presently markets 10 models - Eon, i10, Grand i10, Xcent, Elite i20, Active i20, Verna Fludic 4S, Neo Elantra, Creta and Santa Fe. HMIL’s manufacturing plant near Chennai claims to have the most advanced production, quality and testing capabilities in the country. To cater to rising demand, HMIL commissioned its second plant in February 2008, which produces an additional 300,000 units per annum, raising HMIL’s total production capacity to 600,000 units per annum. HMC has set up a research and development facility(Hyundai Motor India Engineering - HMIE) in the cyber city of Hyderabad. As HMC’s global export hub for compact cars, HMIL is the first automotive company in India to achieve the export of 10 lakh cars in just over a decade. HMIL currently exports cars to more than 120 countries across EU, Africa, Middle East, Latin America, Asia and Australia. It has been the number one exporter of passenger cars of the country for the eighth year in a row.〔http://motorbash.com/eight-years-counting-hyundai-india-is-the-top-exporter-of-the-year/〕 To support its growth and expansion plans, HMIL currently has 388 strong dealer network and more than 1000 strong service points across India, which will see further expansion in 2014.〔http://www.telegraphindia.com/external/display.jsp?mode=details&id=38739〕 In July 2012, Arvind Saxena, the Director of Marketing and Sales stepped down from the position after serving the company for 7 years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hyundai Motor India Limited」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
