The Korean automotive giant intends to strategically design EV models specifically tailored for emerging markets, all of which will be manufactured in this new Indian production hub. Kia's comprehensive plan encompasses the creation of eight production facilities worldwide by 2025, with Korea acting as the central hub for the production. Europe will focus on manufacturing small and medium-sized EVs, while China will produce mid to large-sized EVs.
Currently, the company imports only the EV6 in the Indian market as a Completely Built Unit in limited numbers. As of now, Kia’s footprint in India includes its production units for ICE vehicles set up in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh.
It is also expected with in-house production of EVs, prices of these units will go down. The automaker aims to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles by keeping its price range between $30,000 (Rs. 24 Lakh) to $80,000 (Rs. 66 Lakh). This includes smaller EV models such as the EV5, EV4, and EV3. However, for markets like India, Kia's initial focus will be on the EV6 and EV9 models.
