Largest product-driven offensive for Renault Group in India

In India, Renault Group remains focused on growing a customer base ready to prioritise vehicles combining attractive design, advanced onboard technologies, and electrified powertrains, with an ambition to be among the top three markets for the Renault brand globally by 2030.

The Renault brand is therefore adopting a higher value-added positioning; driven by incorporating advanced technologies, both within the vehicle’s onboard systems and in its powertrain offerings.

Four vehicles are in the line-up to reach a total of seven vehicle portfolio by 2030, including Renault Duster, unveiled in January 2026, and already generating strong enthusiasm among Indian customers. As part of the futuREady announcements, the Group also presented Bridger Concept, which previews a new B-segment compact SUV, a true multi-energy vehicle including an electric version.

The seven vehicles will be based on two complementary platforms, RGEP^[1] and RGMP small^[2], deployed first on the Indian market and both designed with a multi-energy approach to offer internal combustion powertrains, including hybrids, and electric powertrains depending on needs.

Lastly, the brand also intends to stand out in the market through a strengthened commitment to its Indian customers. Through the Renault Forever initiative, the Group aims to build a lasting relationship based on trust, service quality and simplified customer experience. Indian customers will notably benefit from a 7-year warranty.

A technology and export hub

Following the launch of futuREady on 10 March 2026, Renault Group is now unveiling futuREady India, aimed at establishing its 15,000 employees full-fledged operations as a leading hub for local Indian market and for the world.

In Chennai, the Group has one of its largest engineering centres worldwide, bringing together 6,000 engineers and IT specialists in vehicle architecture, software, simulation and vehicle lifecycle upgrades. This site is set to take on an elevated role within the Group by now developing platforms, vehicle architectures and technologies for projects in India as well as for global markets.

On the industrial front, Renault Group now has full ownership of its Chennai manufacturing facility, significantly reinforcing its ability to localise production, deepen supplier integration and optimise end‑to‑end supply chains. Leveraging India’s strong sourcing competitiveness, this industrial footprint is being developed as a strategic export hub for vehicles, components and associated services to other Renault Group regions, particularly South America.
