Kia India has announced that it has surpassed 250,000 vehicle exports. Since 2019, the company has shipped 255,133 units internationally to over 100 markets from its Anantapur manufacturing facility. The Seltos have been the major contributor, accounting for 59 per cent of the company’s overall overseas dispatches. Kia’s other vehicles - Sonet and Carens follow in second and third places, contributing 34 per cent and seven per cent, respectively.
Kia India is one of the key export hubs for the Kia corporation. However, in recent years, the company has focused more on selling its cars in the domestic markets and is now going to make 90 per cent of its products for India this year.
At present Kia India exports to over 100 international markets from its Anantapur facility. A few of the major markets for exporting Kia India include South Africa, Chile, Paraguay, and Latin America. Kia's dedication to innovation and excellence has secured its place as a global leader in the automotive industry, both in India and globally.
Myung-sik Sohn, Chief Sales Officer, Kia India said, 'Our dedication to quality and innovation has driven us to this milestone. The success of our Made in India vehicles internationally shows our commitment to quality. We've quickly become a major market for Kia Corporation and aim to maintain this momentum. While our focus is on the domestic market, we plan to keep our exports steady this year.'
