What are the various challenges of your sector and how do you tackle them?
Every challenge is seen as an opportunity for exceptional service and excellence that drives us to constantly deliver high-quality, reliable, and technologically advanced equipment that meets the evolving demands of our customers. At Hyundai, we tackle the challenges with a series of strategic initiatives.

Rising Raw Material Cost: To mitigate the impact of rising raw material costs and global price fluctuations, we leverage the ‘Make in India’ initiative. By encouraging & developing a robust network of local vendors and suppliers, we contribute significantly to the strength of the local economy.

We prioritize long-term contracts with suppliers to stabilize material costs and negotiate favorable pricing terms, reducing dependency on volatile market conditions and ensuring continuity in our supply chain. Furthermore, we constantly search for value engineering opportunities to optimize material usage while maintaining our high-quality standards.

Additionally, we invest in efficiency improvements through lean manu-facturing practices and advanced technologies. By enhancing operational efficiencies and minimizing waste, we aim to lower overall production costs associated with raw materials.

Lastly, our proactive approach includes robust risk management strategies. We closely monitor geopolitical events, economic trends, and natural disasters to anticipate and mitigate potential disruptions in the supply chain.

Buyers facing Funding: Funding is a notable obstacle for our predominantly first-time buyers. Financial institutions are often hesitant to fund first-time users (FTUs) and first-time buyers (FTBs) due to concerns about Non-Performing Assets (NPAs). To address this, we collaborate with top financiers like HD Hyundai to create tailored funding schemes. We work closely with financiers to secure approvals, often by lowering the funding percentage or adding a co-borrower/guarantor, making financing more accessible for our customers.

Management of old machines: India faces a challenge in managing old machines that require maintenance. Currently, there is a lack of dedicated space and agencies to handle this old stock. However, we actively introduced an in-house refurbishment center for old machines to extend their lifespan and value, providing cost-effective alterna-tives to purchasing new equipment. This approach optimizes resource utilization and offers affordable upgrade options for our customers.

At HD Hyundai, we thrive on over-coming challenges to drive continuous growth and enhance customer satisfac-tion. Whether navigating increased raw material costs or addressing financing barriers for first-time buyers, we strategically devise and implement solutions that drive success and elevate our standards in the industry.
