Strengths of Hyundai Motor India

1. Strong Production and Export Capabilities

Hyundai Motor India has exported over 3.53 million passenger vehicles to more than 150 countries, including major markets such as Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.

Hyundai Motor India Engineering Private Limited (HMIEPL) also provides technical expertise for local market customisation, further strengthening the company’s competitive edge.

Financial Performance of Hyundai Motor India

Hyundai Motor India has shown consistent financial growth over the past few years, making its IPO an attractive proposition. The company’s revenue from operations increased significantly from ₹40,972.25 crore in 2021 to ₹60,307.58 crore in 2023, a growth of almost 47%.

Risks to Consider

While the Hyundai Motor India IPO presents an exciting opportunity, there are some risks that potential investors should keep in mind:

1. Market Dependency: The company's revenue is heavily reliant on the Indian automobile market. Any fluctuations in market demand, regulations, or fuel prices can impact the company’s profitability.

2. Global Competition: Hyundai faces stiff competition not only from domestic manufacturers but also from international brands. The competitive landscape could affect market share and profitability.

3. Supply Chain Disruptions: The automotive industry has faced several supply chain challenges, especially with semiconductor shortages. These disruptions can delay production and delivery, impacting revenue growth.

Despite these risks, the strong fundamentals of Hyundai Motor India position it as a resilient player in the automotive industry. For those interested in participating in the IPO, using an F&O trading app could help optimise trading strategies, particularly for those engaging in futures and options trading.
