Kia India is one of the key export hubs for the Kia Corporation.
New Delhi: Kia India Thursday said since 2019 it has exported 255,133 vehicles to over 100 markets, including South Africa, Chile, Paraguay and Latin America, from the Anantapur manufacturing facility.

Seltos has been the major contributor, with 59%, followed by Sonet and Carens contributing 34% and 7%, respectively, the company said.

Kia India is one of the key export hubs for the Kia Corporation. However, in recent years, the company has been focusing more on the domestic markets. It is going to make 90% of products for India from this year, the company said in a media release.

Myung-sik Sohn, Chief Sales Officer, Kia India, said, "Our dedication to quality and innovation has driven us to this milestone. The success of our Made in India vehicles internationally shows our commitment to quality. We've quickly become a major market for Kia Corporation and aim to maintain this momentum. While our focus is on the domestic market, we plan to keep our exports steady this year."

Kia’s Anantapur plant, which commenced production around five years ago, has quickly become a crucial export hub within the company’s global network. The facility's advanced production capabilities and adherence to the highest quality standards have enabled Kia to meet the demand for RVs worldwide, the release said.
