Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has pitched Hyderabad as the “ideal location” for Hyundai Motors to establish its car manufacturing unit. A delegation of Hyundai Motors India Engineering (HMIE), led by its Managing Director Changyeon Cho, met the Chief Minister at the Bodhi Pavilion in MCRHRD Institute campus here on Friday.
The Chief Minister expressed the government’s readiness to provide all possible support to encourage manufacturing in Telangana. “We are centrally located in the country, and Hyderabad is known for being cosmopolitan, safest, and having most liveable conditions among the six metropolitan Indian cities.”
He assured the company’s India leadership of all possible support for expediting works for the Hyundai Motor India Engineering (HMIE) Integrated Global R&D facility at National Investment and Manufacturing Zones (NIMZ) Zaheerabad.
The facility, involving a massive investment of Rs 8,528 crore and total employment commitment of 4,276 jobs, is set for phased development across 678 acres.
The team apprised the Chief Minister about progress of the project, stating that the facility would be ready for ground-breaking in the next few months.
HMIE has been in Hyderabad for about 20 years, with its HI-TEC City facility serving as a major R&D centre, supporting advanced vehicle engineering. Expanding on Hyundai India’s engineering capacities in Hyderabad, the Zaheerabad R&D and mega test centre will be key to testing, validating, and improving of engineering process.
During the World Economic Forum 2024, the delegation led by the Chief Minister met officials of Hyundai Motors to attract investments to Telangana. Subsequently, in June 2025, the Telangana Cabinet Sub-committee on industrial and investment promotion approved Hyundai’s ambitious proposal to establish the R&D Centre.
On this occasion, Revanth Reddy pitched Telangana as the ideal place to establish the South Korean company’s car manufacturing unit, citing dedicated mobility clusters, strong transport infrastructure across road, air, rail and plans to have high-speed connectivity with ports. He highlighted that the state was set for rapid industrial expansion under spatial frameworks like the Peri-Urban Region (PURE) for manufacturing.
HMIE MD Changyeon Cho said Hyundai’s vision to further strengthen Hyderabad as its global tech and advanced engineering tech complemented the Telangana Rising 2047 vision. “We will continue the Telangana growth story,” he observed.
