Key ratios

ROE is return on equity ROCE is return on capital employed

The good

The company had an industry-leading average EBIT margin of nearly 9% during FY22-24, given its strong operational efficiency, which is a result of local sourcing of raw materials from near its Chennai plant.

The good

Hyundai’s focus on premium vehicles is a key growth strategy. Recognising the changing consumer preference towards higher-end models, it earned 49% of FY24 revenue from cars priced over Rs 10 lakh and around 20% from those above Rs 15 lakh. SUVs’ share in its revenue has shot up to 67% so far in 2024, up from 52% in March 2022.

The bad

Hyundai India’s market share in passenger cars (15%) is being eaten into by rivals like Tata Motors and M&M. Its royalty fee obligation to its parent is another big risk to profitability. To read how these factors are a threat to the auto giant, head on to our story from the link below:
