From the very first Seltos to the 1.5 millionth Carens today, each car stands as a testament to the trust, love, and support of our customers and partners. We are deeply grateful for this association and look forward to continuing our pursuit of automotive excellence. The future of Kia India looks bright as we remain steadfast in driving innovation, offering industry-leading products, and shaping the mobility landscape in India.”

With a focus on quality manufacturing, cutting-edge technology, and customer-centric innovation, Kia India’s Anantapur plant has played a crucial role in the company’s success. The 536-acre facility is one of the most advanced automotive plants in the country and serves as a vital export hub, shipping vehicles to over 90 countries worldwide.
