Interview: Tarun Garg, COO, Hyundai Motor India on Hyundai Creta electric | Auto Live

In the interview, Tarun Garg expresses strong confidence that the Creta Electric could serve as the “trigger point” for electric-vehicle adoption across India, helping to significantly accelerate EV uptake in 2025–26 as the charging ecosystem improves. He highlights that the Creta EV combines the trusted brand equity of the ICE Creta — which has sold over a million units — with a modern electric powertrain offering up to 473 km range (with the larger battery) and competent charging support.  Garg also underlines Hyundai’s commitment to localisation: the EV will use locally assembled battery packs and components, aligning with “Make in India” ambitions and enabling competitive pricing.  Overall, he suggests that Creta Electric won’t just be another model — but a milestone launch positioning Hyundai as a serious EV player in India’s mainstream SUV and EV market
