Hyundai India posts record February sales of 66,134 units
Domestic sales hit 52,407 (plus 9.8 per cent YoY) and exports 13,727 (plus 24.8 per cent YoY) in Feb 2026.
MUMBAI: Hyundai India just floored the accelerator because when February sales hit an all-time high, even the calendar wants to take a victory lap. Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) reported its highest-ever February sales since inception, clocking 66,134 units in February 2026, a robust 12.6 per cent year-on-year growth. The figure comprises domestic sales of 52,407 units (up 9.8 per cent YoY) and exports of 13,727 units (up 24.8 per cent YoY), marking the strongest February performance for both total and domestic volumes in the company’s history.
HMIL MD & CEO Tarun Garg said, “We kicked-off 2026 on a high note achieving our highest-ever monthly sales in January and the momentum continues in February. With a total sales (domestic plus exports) of 66,134 units, the highest for any February in our history, we posted a robust growth of 12.6 per cent YoY. This includes domestic sales of 52,407 units, also the highest-ever February sales since inception.”
The results reflect HMIL’s strong product momentum, growing export footprint, and focus on connected technology and ownership experience as the company nears 30 years in India. As one of the country’s leading passenger vehicle makers, the February numbers underline sustained demand across segments and markets, with exports showing particularly sharp acceleration.
In a market where every month counts toward yearly targets, HMIL’s February surge isn’t just a number, it’s proof that when the road gets busy, Hyundai knows exactly how to keep the pedal down and the smiles wide.

Ather Energy doubles service network to 500 centres nationwide
EV maker scales support alongside growth to keep riders on the road
MUMBAI: Ather Energy is quietly building more than just scooters. It is building the backbone to keep them running.
The electric two-wheeler maker has expanded its service network to 500 authorised centres across India, nearly doubling its footprint in a year from 277. The move mirrors its growing retail presence and signals a clear focus on one often overlooked part of EV ownership, what happens after the purchase.
From the outset, Ather has prioritised service support in every city it enters, aiming to make ownership as smooth as the ride itself. Its Gold Service Centres bring in upgraded customer lounges, modern equipment and processes designed to make servicing more transparent and reliable.
Speed, too, is part of the pitch. Through its ExpressCare initiative, riders can get periodic maintenance done in about an hour, now available across 82 centres, turning what used to be a chore into a quick pit stop.
Ather Energy chief business officer Ravneet Singh Phokela said, “Crossing 500 service centres is an important milestone as we scale across the country. Reliable after-sales support is central to the ownership experience, and our focus remains on consistent service quality and accessibility.”
The expansion comes as demand grows for models like the Ather 450 and the Rizta, which have helped the company reach a broader set of riders across metros and emerging cities alike.
Alongside servicing, Ather continues to power up infrastructure through the Ather Grid, now one of the largest fast-charging networks for two-wheelers, with over 4,300 charging points.
With plans to scale further and deepen its presence, Ather’s approach is clear. Selling the scooter may start the journey, but keeping it running smoothly is what sustains it.
