The report said the company expects exports to rise to 30,000 in the current financial year ending March 2004.
Hyundai Motor India, which produces cars in the $US7,000-$28,000 range, already exports Santro [Atos] models to countries in South America, North Africa, Southeast Asia and Europe and, although India’s $4-billion-a-year car market has been growing annually around 8%-15% in the recent past, companies are now focusing on exports to insulate their businesses against potential local shocks, Dow Jones noted.
