Renault India registered a growth of 160% with monthly domestic sales of 12,424 units in March 2016 as against 4,782 units in the corresponding month last year.
The momentum gained in terms of sales can be attributed to the success of their recently launched Kwid, which is one of the best selling entry-level hatchbacks in the country. Renault also gave the Duster a facelift at the Auto Expo 2016, in order to keep it up-to-date with the new entrants in the price bracket, like the Ford EcoSport, Hyundai Creta and even the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza.
Renault is one of the fastest growing automobile brands in India. In a short span of time, we have exponentially grown our reach in terms of sales and network expansion. We are grateful to our customers for the confidence and trust bestowed in the Renault brand which is reflected by our increasing sales, despite the challenges the industry is facing.Sumit Sawhney, Country CEO and Managing Director, Renault India Operations
The company cumulatively sold 29,289 units during January – March 2016 as against 11,404 units sold during the same period last year, posting a growth of 157%.
