Hyundai's Chennai Plant Recovers After Supplier Fire, Targets Full Production by June 22
Hyundai Motor India's Chennai Plant 1 faced production disruptions after a fire at supplier Hyundai Mobis's facility on May 31, reducing output notably for the Creta SUV. While Chennai Plant 2 and the Pune plant continued operations with minimal impact, Hyundai is sourcing components from alternate locations, including imports, to mitigate delays. The company expects Chennai Plant 1 to resume normal production by June 15 and full manufacturing recovery by June 22, with dealer inventories sufficient to prevent immediate sales impact.
