We adopt eco-friendly initiatives across all processes at workshop and dealerships at a Pan India level. A digital campaign- #DontBeAnIdler on air pollution urging customers to switch off the engine, while waiting at traffic signals will be key to drive behavioural change across the masses.”

In addition to this, HMIL inducted all its 494 Hyundai Dealerships and 1319 Service Workshops to ensure healthy workshop environment practices for its staff such as technicians to wear masks while paint jobs, air filter cleaning, etc and reduce usage of Non-Biodegradable plastic and encourage use of jute, cloth and biodegradable bags at workshops.
