While Hyundai has been launching cars amidst the nationwide lockdown, the brand has also donated PPE kits, ration kits, sanitizer kits, and face masks worth over Rs. 9 Crore to state governments of Haryana, Delhi, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu.

Hyundai has always considered India as an important market. The introduction of market-specific products do support this fact, however, the brand has come up with a new gesture this time. I might sound biased, but the carmakers that are taking up stands to support the government in the case of this pandemic, deserve appreciation. Since, these brands earn money from the citizens of our country, when they return a share of those profits in such situations, customers of the brand feel proud of their decisions.
