Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has made a blockbuster sale in January 2026. The company recorded the highest ever monthly sales in the country, with total domestic sales of 59,107 units. This figure shows an annual increase of 9.5% compared to January last year (54,003 units). Additionally, the company also set a new record in total sales (domestic + exports), where a total of 73,137 units were sold, which is 11.5% more than the same period last year.
This success reflects Hyundai's strong position in the Indian market and growing confidence among customers. Commenting on the achievement, Tarun Garg, MD & CEO of the company, said, “Achieving a strong YoY growth of 11.5% with our highest ever monthly domestic sales of 59,107 units and total sales of 73,137 units not only reflects Hyundai's brand leadership, but is also a testament to the collective strength of our people, partners and customers.”
Bumper demand for Hyundai Venue!
Some major models made a special contribution to this record sales of January 2026. Hyundai Venue recorded its highest ever monthly sales with 12,413 units sold. This shows Hyundai's strong hold in the sub-4 meter SUV segment, where the attractive design, features and price of the facelift model are pleasing the customers. Similarly, Hyundai Aura compact sedan also created a record and sold 7,978 units. This model is popular among family-oriented customers. Especially because of its spacious interior, fuel efficiency and modern features.
Exports also increased
The company also performed brilliantly on the export front. 14,030 units have been exported in January, which is 20.9 more than 11,600 units in January last year. This growth reflects Hyundai's global supply chain and growing demand in international markets. Vehicles exported from India mainly go to Africa, Middle East, Latin America and other emerging markets.
These record sales are also a positive sign for the Indian automobile sector. Such strong performance by a major brand like Hyundai as early as 2026 shows that customer demand remains strong. Growing interest in SUV and premium hatchback segments, launch of new models, better financing options and increasing purchasing power in both rural-urban areas have contributed to this growth.
Company's future plan
Going forward, Hyundai is planning to launch new models, with special emphasis on electric vehicles. The company aims to further increase its share in the Indian market, where it is already among the top-3 players. This record of January 2026 is not only a milestone for the company, but also raises hopes of strong growth in 2026 for the entire auto industry.
