The buildup to today's current market situation has been a tumultuous one. For months at an end, the market has been dealing with an ongoing parts/chips shortage situation. One that is largely global, has impacted the market to a noticeable degree.

With the situation much improved now, market expectations too stand improved. Especially since the period ahead is one of a long festive season. With a peak agrarian season dependent on monsoon, and a festive season that picks up gear soon after, H2 has a lot going for it.

With another month of brisk sales coming to an end, Hyundai India finds itself in the green. Domestic sales for July 2022 are reported at 50,500 units, up from 48,042 units YoY.

Tarun Garg, Director (Sales, Marketing & Service), Hyundai Motor India Ltd. said, "With the improvement in the semiconductor situation, the passenger vehicle segment is showing positive trends riding on the green shoots of pent-up demand and customer desire towards personal mobility.

2022 Hyundai Tucson launch

New Hyundai Tucson bookings were opened last month. This week, the company will announce Tucson prices. And HMIL is likely to launch a newer Kona EV before the year comes to a close. And while Tucson can never be a large volume product in India, it's among the grandest offerings for the brand here. This also ensures that people can choose a top notch car from a brand that's gained market stronghold through its sale of smaller cars.

With growing focus on the ambiguously defined UV segment, HMIL will now face stronger competition from recently announced launches from other manufacturers. And since these segments easily permeate from one to another, it's the B-SUV segment that looks geared up for increased activity.
