Kia India’s cumulative exports tally 3.67 lakh units which includes CBUs too.
Kia India has announced that it has just crossed the 1 lakh completely knocked-down (CKD) vehicle export milestone. Kia India began exporting CKD vehicles from its Anantapur plant in Telangana in June 2020. However, Kia’s cumulative exports tally 3.67 lakh units and this includes completely built units (CBU) too.
The South Korean brand estimates that it will export 38,000 CKD units to Uzbekistan, Ecuador and Vietnam in 2024. Kia India has become a crucial hub for Kia Corporation as the CKD exports from India account for 50 per cent of the CKD exports worldwide. Kia India currently exports the Sonet, Seltos and Carens and says there is increasing demand for these three models. Furthemore, Kia aims to expand its export volume by twice the current amount by 2030 and also expand its reach to more regions.

This milestone highlights Kia India’s commitment to manufacturing excellence, innovation and delivering value to global customers. We are proud to see models like the Seltos, Sonet and Carens perform strongly in international markets. We are also grateful for the government’s export-friendly policies, which have a crucial role in strengthening India’s position within the global automotive value chain. Looking ahead, we aim to expand our CKD footprint to the Middle East and Africa, to double our export volume by 2030.”
