Our contribution to the PM CARES Fund stands testament to solidarity we hold with the people of India, amidst this crisis. In challenging times such as these, we are pledging to bring about ‘Progress for Humanity' and will continue giving back to help India defeat this adversity."
This is not the first time Hyundai has stepped in to help. The company has previously donated Rs 5 crore to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Relief Fund, has handed over imported COVID-19 advanced diagnostic test Kits worth Rs 4 crore, and has created a strategic partnership with Air Liquide Medical Systems to augment the production and supply of ventilators.
In addition, HMI has also contributed to the in-house development of AMBU bag actuators, distribution of PPEs, face masks and other safety kits in the States of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, & Haryana, and in Delhi. The brand has also distributed dry rations in Delhi and Tamil Nadu.

On the other hand, the CNG engine pumps out 58 bhp of power and 84Nm of torque. Both the engines come mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.
