Hyundai Motor India Women Workforce Target: 20% by 2030 

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) plans to increase women’s representation in its executive workforce to 20% by 2030, up from slightly more than 8% currently. The company has more than 4,000 employees in its executive workforce. 

The Hyundai Motor India women workforce target for 2030 is part of the company’s broader effort to strengthen diversity across its operations. HMIL said women are increasingly taking up roles in manufacturing, engineering, research and development, sales, service, corporate functions and leadership. 

Women are also becoming a larger part of the company’s early-career talent pipeline. Around 45% of the Management Trainees and Engineer Trainees recruited by HMIL in 2026 are women, according to the company. 

Tarun Garg, Managing Director and CEO of HMIL, said diverse experiences and perspectives can help build stronger teams, encourage innovation and improve organisational resilience. He said the Hyundai Motor India women workforce target 2030 reflects the company’s focus on expanding opportunities and developing a stronger talent pipeline. 

HMIL has introduced a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) framework as part of its long-term workforce strategy. The programme focuses on attracting, developing and retaining employees while supporting career progression and leadership development. 

The company said its women workforce diversity strategy covers different stages of professional growth rather than focusing only on recruitment. Greater access to career development and leadership opportunities is expected to support women as they move into senior positions. 

The Hyundai Motor India women workforce target 2030 comes as India’s automotive and mobility sectors undergo changes driven by advanced manufacturing, digitalisation and evolving customer expectations. HMIL said diverse teams can contribute to problem-solving and innovation as the industry changes. 

The company also linked workforce diversity with long-term competitiveness. Its women workforce diversity strategy is intended to draw talent from a broader range of backgrounds and support sustainable business growth. 

With women already accounting for nearly half of HMIL’s new management and engineering trainee intake in 2026, the company’s Hyundai Motor India women workforce target for 2030 will now depend on retaining that talent and creating pathways into executive and leadership positions.
