Mumbai, September 16, 2025: Hyundai Motor India Foundation (HMIF), the CSR arm of Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL), has announced CSR initiatives worth ₹56 crore in Maharashtra to strengthen environmental sustainability, road safety, healthcare, and community welfare. The initiatives were launched by Hon’ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra Shri Devendra Fadnavis.

Commenting on the initiatives, Shri Devendra Fadnavis said, “The initiatives launched today by HMIF reflect a strong commitment to the people of Maharashtra. It re-emphasizes Hyundai’s role not just as a manufacturer, but as a responsible corporate citizen dedicated to social progress.”

Mr. Unsoo Kim, Managing Director, HMIL, added, “Guided by our global vision of ‘Progress for Humanity’, we are committed to making a meaningful difference in society by driving positive change and enabling communities to grow stronger and more sustainable. Maharashtra holds a very special significance for us, as we have always believed in creating shared value by going beyond business and investing in initiatives that directly touch people’s lives.”

The flagship project, IONIQ Forest, will be implemented at Dange Chowk in Pune with an investment of ₹32 crore. The initiative will plant one million native trees across 90.5 acres using the Miyawaki technique, creating one of the state’s largest afforestation zones.

Under the Easy Roads Initiative, HMIF announced a ₹4 crore investment to establish a Traffic Engineering Centre and an Organization Development Centre in Nagpur and Pune, supporting the Nagpur Traffic Police’s ‘My Road, My Friend’ campaign.

The Adhikaar Connect programme, launched in Nashik and Talegaon, will assist communities in accessing public welfare schemes through documentation and application support, while also promoting digital and financial literacy in rural areas.

HMIF’s ongoing pan-India programmes will also extend their impact in Maharashtra.
