AI Hya has been known as an eclipsing binary with a monoperiodic \delta Sct pulsator . We present the results from its TESS photometry observed during Sector 7 . Including our five minimum epochs , the eclipse timing diagram displays the apsidal motion with a rate of \dot { \omega } = 0.075 \pm 0.031 deg year ^ { -1 } , which corresponds to an apsidal period of U = 4800 \pm 2000 years . The binary star model represents that the smaller , less massive primary component is 427 K hotter than the pulsating secondary , and our distance of 612 \pm 36 pc is in good agreement with the Gaia distance of 644 \pm 26 pc . We subtracted the binary effects from the observed TESS data and applied a multifrequency analysis to these residuals . The result reveals that AI Hya is multiperiodic in its pulsation . Of 14 signals detected , four ( f _ { 1 } , f _ { 2 } , f _ { 3 } , f _ { 6 } ) may be considered independent pulsation frequencies . The period ratios of P _ { pul } / P _ { orb } = 0.012 - 0.021 and the pulsation constants of Q = 0.30 - 0.52 days correspond to \delta Sct pulsations in binaries . We found that the secondary component of AI Hya pulsates in both radial fundamental F modes ( f _ { 2 } and f _ { 3 } ) and non-radial g _ { 1 } modes with a low degree of \ell = 2 ( f _ { 1 } and f _ { 6 } ) .
