KIA Manufacturing Plant India

Following its statement to enter the Indian market earlier this year, Kia Motors, a subsidiary of Korean manufacturer Hyundai Motors, is scouting for manufacturing locations in India. According to a recent report, India plays a critical role for the brand, as it believes the country is racing towards becoming the third largest automotive market in the world by 2020.

Cementing its role as an industrial hub for automotive manufacturers, the Tamil Nadu government has offered the Korean manufacturer approximately 390 acres (16,988,400 sq. ft.) to build on. The site offered, also happens to be in close proximity to Hyundai’s facility located in Sriperumbudur, located approximately 40 kilometers away.
