Ulsan (South Korea): Hyundai Motor Group Tuesday expressed its desire to expand its business into sectors like construction and railways in India, where it is currently the largest exporter of cars.

"I hope in the future Hyundai Motor Group will be able to continue its cooperation with India in other areas such as construction and railway to play a more meaningful role in Korea-India's mutual economic development," Chung said in a statement.

"Hyundai Motor's Chennai plant is a symbol of Korea-India economic cooperation and I thank the Indian government for its support in Hyundai Motor's growth in the Indian Market," he added.

According to the Hyundai release, during the meeting Modi said: "Hyundai Motor plays a key role in India's auto industry. India will actively seek possible ways to continue its cooperation with Hyundai Motor. I hope Hyundai Motor will become a leading global company through its success in India."
