Hyundai Motor India to increase women executive workforce from 8% to 20% by 2030
Hyundai Motor India Limited has committed to increasing the representation of women in its executive workforce from 8% to 20% by 2030. The company is implementing a new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion framework to support this goal across its manufacturing and corporate sectors.
Why it matters
This reflects a broader corporate trend in India to improve gender diversity in traditionally male-dominated industries like automotive manufacturing.
Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has announced a target to increase women’s representation in its executive workforce to 20% by 2030, from little more than 8% of HMIL’s total executive workforce of over 4,000 employees.
HMIL said it was witnessing increased participation of women across manufacturing, engineering, R&D, sales, service, corporate functions and leadership roles.
About 45% of young talent (Management Trainees & Engineer Trainees) recruited in 2026 are women, Tarun Garg, MD & CEO, HMIL, said, “We believe that bringing together people with diverse experiences, perspectives and capabilities helps create stronger teams, drive innovation and build a more resilient organisation.”
“Our commitment to achieving 20% women representation in the executive workforce by 2030 reflects our focus on expanding opportunities, strengthening our talent pipeline and creating an environment where every individual can realise their full potential,” he said.
