Domestically, our first indigenous electric SUV - the Hyundai CRETA Electric which was launched in Bharat Mobility on 17th January 2025, has begun its innings on a strong note. It has helped propel brand CRETA to its highest ever domestic monthly sales of 18,522 units, in January 2025. Ushering in the electric revolution by developing a smart and efficient EV ecosystem to alleviate range-anxiety, HMIL is set to mainstream EVs in India and will continue to augment charging infrastructure across the country. We are confident that Hyundai CRETA Electric will set new benchmarks in the Indian EV industry, providing the much-needed push for the growth of the segment."
