Thanks to Mahesh M for sending this data in. Heartfelt gratitude for sharing it with other enthusiasts via this Team-BHP page!

Hyundai has revised the labour charges for paid mechanical and bodypaint work for all car models in its line-up. The revision is carried out on a yearly basis and will be applicable from January 16, 2018.

Different cities across the country are categorized in 4 groups namely, Group I, Group II, Group III and Group IV. A new Group I+ has been added for the cities of Delhi, Mumbai and Gurugram. The categorization of the cities is applicable for mechanical operations as well as bodypaint work. The hourly labour rates are exclusive of GST (Goods & Service Tax) or any other tax applicable have been revised to Rs. 420 - Rs. 600 depending on the city categorization. Hourly labour rates for workshops with GDSI (Global Dealership Space Identity) and workshop automation or Non-GDSI workshops, which are less than 5-years old but with workshop automation, have been increased.

The rates for the bodypaint jobs have gone up by 10-12% for Group I to Group IV cities, while the Group I+ cities get a hike of 12-15%. The revised labour charges will be sent out to all the workshops in the country and will be displayed at the reception area. Hyundai claims that displaying the labour charges will bring more transparency in the workshop operations.
