The local unit of Hyundai Motor Co. is facing intense criticism in India after an account linked to the South Korean carmaker’s joint venture in Pakistan tweeted in support of people in the contested region of Kashmir.
#BoycottHyundai, #Kashmir and #Tata were among the top trends on Twitter in India on Monday, as users posted comments about switching to buying cars from Tata Motors Ltd. instead. Hyundai is the second-largest carmaker in India, behind Maruti Suzuki India Ltd., and one of the rare foreign players to have cracked the nation’s highly price-sensitive market.
