Renault India seeks NCLT approval for proposed realignment of operations

French automaker Renault is undertaking a restructuring of the group's operations in India with plans to separate powertrain production from vehicle manufacturing and sales operations, the company said on Thursday. Renault Group India has approached the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) for approval of a proposed structural realignment of its India operations, it said in a statement.

Renault bets on two-platform strategy, multi-energy push to expand in India

French auto major Renault is adopting a two-platform strategy in India to address the segment below Rs 10 lakh while pursuing a full multi-energy flexibility for vehicles longer than 4 metres, as it looks to expand its product portfolio to seven by 2030. The company, which offered models, such as Kwid, Kiger and Triber on its CMFA platform in the past, is evolving into a new RGEP -- Renault Group Entry Platform -- as it aims to address customer expectations like native factory-fitted CNG, newer powertrains, and next-generation digital and electronic architecture, according to Renault Group in India CEO Stephane Deblaise. On the other hand, for scale and electrification, the company is using the new RGMP -- Renault Group Modular Platform, which will drive the next phase of its growth in India while laying the foundation of the company's electrification strategy.

Renault aims to lift India market share to 3-5% by 2030, says CEO

French automaker Renault is eyeing a market share of 3-5 per cent in the Indian passenger vehicle segment by 2030, led by new product launches and sales network expansion, according to a top company executive. The company currently sells three models in the market -- Kwid, Kiger, and Triber -- and has also unveiled the new Duster with deliveries expected to begin in April this year.

"If we do our job well, by 2030 we should get between 3-5 per cent market share, that's our goal," Renault brand CEO and Chief Growth Officer Fabrice Cambolive told PTI in an interaction. "We would not like to communicate today about the new cars, but we will increase the number of models here in India, because the market is big and there are a lot of growing segments," he added. The market share improvement would depend upon the level of competitiveness the automaker is able to achieve as th
