The Hyundai Center of Excellence (CoE) at IIT Delhi will serve as the hub for this partnership, promoting academic-industrial cooperation.

Korean and Indian experts will conduct joint research, host specialized lectures, and offer international training programs, bridging academia and industry expertise.

These efforts complement Hyundai’s broader global strategy, “Hyundai Way,” which aims to sell 2 million EVs annually by 2030, supported by a robust lineup of 21 EV models and advanced hybrid technologies. Through these initiatives, Hyundai is poised to play a pivotal role in India’s EV transition, supported by government policies encouraging sustainable mobility solutions.
