Hyundai Expands EV Footprint in India: Launches 120 kW DC Fast Chargers in Delhi, Confirms Localized Mass-Market SUV EV

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has announced a major expansion of its electric vehicle ecosystem on World EV Day 2026. The South Korean automaker inaugurated brand-new 120 kW DC fast public EV charging stations in New Delhi while confirming plans to introduce a localized mass-market SUV EV built on a dedicated electric platform.

To mark the occasion, Hyundai has also rolled out a complimentary free public charging offer for all Hyundai EV owners across its proprietary charging network.

High-Speed 120 kW DC Fast Chargers Rolled Out in Delhi

To combat range anxiety and bolster urban infrastructure, Hyundai has deployed new high-speed 120 kW DC fast-charging units across strategic public locations in New Delhi in partnership with Statiq.

Key Infrastructure Highlights:

Charging Capability: The 120 kW DC units significantly reduce charging time for high-voltage battery packs, catering to existing models like the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and Creta EV.
3-Day Free Charging Offer: Existing Hyundai EV owners can avail complimentary charging from September 9 to September 11, 2026, when booked via the myHyundai mobile app.
Network Vision: Hyundai currently operates 185 DC fast-charging stations across 105 cities and aims to expand its proprietary fast-charging footprint to 600 stations by 2030.

Localized Mass-Market SUV EV to Drive Volume Growth

Beyond charging infrastructure, Hyundai Motor India confirmed the upcoming rollout of a heavily localized, mass-market electric SUV. Designed specifically for Indian road conditions and price points, the localized SUV will sit below premium offerings to capture volume in the fast-growing compact EV segment.

By sourcing critical drivetrain and battery components locally, Hyundai aims to deliver aggressive pricing and lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for everyday commuters.

Preparing Sales & Service Network for FY27

To support its aggressive product roadmap, HMIL is scaling up its sales and service touchpoints to build customer confidence:

820 EV-Ready Touchpoints: Expanding the overall sales reach by the end of FY27.
650 Dedicated EV Workshops: Upgrading service infrastructure with specialized high-voltage diagnostic tools.
Massive Workforce Training: Training over 17,000 sales personnel and 5,000+ service technicians in battery diagnostics and high-voltage safety procedures.

Commenting on the launch, Tarun Garg, MD & CEO of HMIL, stated that expanding charging access along with specialized dealership training aims to make the transition to electric mobility convenient, dependable, and rewarding for Indian consumers.
