Why open Hyundai dealership showroom or service station in India?

Since the inception of Hyundai Motors in India, the company has been one of the leading car manufacturers in India. It has a brand name you can rely upon. If you open a Hyundai Motors dealership showroom, people know what your business is all about and you do not need to spend heavily on advertising. Coming to statistics, Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) is the largest passenger car exporter of India as well as the second largest car manufacturer. HMIL has also remained the country's top exporter for 7 consecutive years. At present there are around 346 Hyundai Dealers in India along with 800 service points, to cater the rising growth and provide a smooth and sophisticated customer service. Hyundai cars and motorbikes are also state of the art vehicles; several prizes and awards every year confirm their superior qualities. In 2013, Hyundai Elantra Won the 'Best Design and Styling' Award at 'Bloomberg UTV Auto Car India 2013', 'Saloon Car of the Year' Award at 'Bloomberg UTV Auto Car India 2013', 'Car of the Year' Award at 'Car India & Bike India Awards 2013', 'CNB Viewers' Choice Car of the Year' award at 'NDTV Car & Bike Awards 2013' and many more. While only prizes and awards do not tell the whole story, they certainly advocate for the premium quality and popularity of Hyundai Motor products. What else do you require to open a Hyundai dealership showroom and run a booming business?

Hyundai Dealership Start-up Investments: Estimated costs, ROI, payback period of capital

Hyundai Motor India Limited does not provide any official information about Hyundai dealership start up costs, investment requirements, estimated ROI, pay back period and similar details. Nevertheless, looking at various public forums where people have stated their experiences and analyzing the start-up costs of top automobile franchises in India, we can chalk out some rough estimates. However, please note that all these figures are our estimates only and are in now way verified or confirmed by HMIL. If you are looking for the exact start up cost of Hyundai franchise in India, investment returns and other information, you need to contact HMIL officials for a quotation.

For any good car showroom or service center you would need a land of roughly 4000 square meters in general. In fact, this is the exact area requirements for Maruti Suzuki dealership in India. Roughly, that is going to cost you not less than 12 to 15 crores in Indian metro cities. You should put aside another 5 crores for indoor decorations, gadgets and buildings. Until the capital is investment returning significant profit, you will also need to put up a fund for recurring expenses like salaries of your staff, maintenance costs and so on; which is going to cost you another 5 crores. Thus, as per our estimation, the net cost of Hyundai Motor dealership is going to burn a hole of around Rs. 25 crores in your pocket.

That's definitely a huge amount, but we think it is very much worth it. Indeed the automobile industry in India is under-performing at present (first half of FY 2013-2014), it is expected to be only a soft downtrend and the markets will be soon revised. Looking at peer companies, we can say that the return on investments for Hyundai dealership will start to pay off within 3 to 5 years. However, the actual Hyundai dealership ROI or profit statistics will vary from person to person depending on your sales strategies, location, promotions and several other factors.
