The automaker said it has initiated multiple measures, including sourcing parts from alternate locations, to minimise the impact of the disruption and restore production levels.
“Operations at the Pune plant and Chennai Plant 2 remain mostly unaffected and continue as usual. The temporary production disruption is confined primarily to Chennai Plant 1,” the company said.

Fire at Mobis India facility
On June 1, Hyundai had disclosed that a fire incident at the manufacturing facility of Mobis India Ltd, one of its major component suppliers, had led to a temporary disruption in production activities.
Mobis India, part of the Hyundai Motor Group’s global supply chain network, supplies a range of automotive modules and components to Hyundai’s manufacturing operations in India. Following the incident, Hyundai began working on contingency plans to secure supplies from alternative locations and mitigate any impact on vehicle production.
Hyundai operates two manufacturing plants in Chennai and a recently commissioned facility in Pune, which together form the backbone of its production network in India.
