Hyundai Motor Group is strengthening its social contribution efforts in India as it marks 30 years of operations in the country. Since entering the Indian market in 1996, the Group has played an active role in community development through its affiliated companies and flagship programs, guided by its philosophy of “Living Together in India.”
Building on three decades of local engagement, Hyundai Motor Group is expanding its initiatives across healthcare, education, culture, and environmental sustainability, while also reinforcing its role as a bridge between South Korea and India. The Group plans to scale up its activities in 2026, deepening its integration within Indian society and fostering stronger bilateral connections.
In healthcare, the Group is working to improve access by supporting cancer research, expanding mobile and telemedicine services, and donating critical medical equipment to hospitals. Through the Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Foundation, it also provides subsidized treatment for underserved communities and training programs for healthcare professionals.
In the education sector, Hyundai Motor Group is investing in underserved regions by developing infrastructure for technical institutions, establishing STEM laboratories, and improving school facilities. Initiatives such as Kia Buckle Up Program promote road safety awareness among youth, while infrastructure improvements—such as building dedicated restrooms for female students—help enhance educational access and health outcomes.
The Group is also actively strengthening cultural ties between India and South Korea. Programs like the “Art for Hope” project support emerging artists, while the “Hyundai Translocal Series” promotes cross-cultural dialogue through art exhibitions. Its flagship “Happy Move” volunteer initiative has engaged thousands of university students in cultural exchange programs, and the “Samarth by Hyundai” campaign continues to support athletes with disabilities and raise social awareness.
Environmental sustainability remains a key focus area, with initiatives including waste recycling, waste-to-energy projects, large-scale reforestation, and water conservation efforts such as pond and lake restoration. Hyundai Motor Group is also supporting renewable energy adoption by installing solar power systems in local communities.
