Mahindra and Renault Call Truce
Mahindra and Renault have a joint venture in India as Mahindra Renault Private Limited that currently sells an entry level sedan Logan in India. The company has been struggling to sell the model in India in spite of it being extremely successful in the overseas market under the Dacia brand of cars. Mahindra holds 51 percent stake in the joint venture and Renault had been continuously having situational problems with Mahindra regarding the success of the model in the Indian market. MRPL sold just 4981 units in India from April-February 09-10.
As per the latest interview with Carlos Ghosn, Renault-Nissan Chief, Renault and Mahindra have reached a fair solution by sorting out their differences. Their entry level model Mahindra Renault Logan will continue to sell on the Indian roads under the joint venture company.
"We are discussing (with M&M) how to reposition the car and how to simplify the organisation and it looks like we need to be more nimble and little fast with the market," Renault Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Carlos Ghosn said. He also reiterated that Logan will continue to stay in the Indian market and the company will work out solutions to make it competitive in the Indian market.

I have just bought a Logan GLX 1.4, and am extremely satisfied by its performance and offerings. The car stands to all the commitments the producer has associated with it as a long lasting product, and is presently the most ideal big family sedan available for a the most favourable commercial offer. My choice of Logan inspite of lots of negative reactions from a no. other brand users was due to its quality of materials, offerings and most importantly interior and boot space. The car drives like an indian car, has a practical approach towards the typical personal indian Driver. and responds like a perfect Indian Car at the steering wheel, Predicting its Behaviour is not a mammoth task, and handles road variations at a high degree. Though I keep updating myself with the current state of the Mahindra Renault JV, but i am not worried about its future, as i know a Car will last as long as the user wants it to last. A perfect and timely maintenance schedule, good drving skills and a little bit of care shall do the work perfectly. This goes for all the cars in the market.
