Renault India sold 11,244 cars in India in December 2016, registering a hike of 9.2 per cent in sales. The company had sold 10,292 units of cars in the corresponding period in 2015. Apart from this boost, the manufacturer sold 1, 32,235 vehicles in 2016 as against the 53,847 cars sold in 2015 garnering a 146 per cent hike in year-on-year sales.
Renault continues to sustain a growth trajectory on the strength of a strong sales performance of the Kwid and even the Duster. Their good sales figures are only expected to improve with the demand of the current cars increasing and with the launch of one new car every year, for the next five years.
Sumit Sawhney, CEO and managing director, said, "India is a priority market for Groupe Renault and plays an important role in Renault’s international growth. In a short span of time, Renault has grown its presence exponentially, becoming one of the youngest and fastest growing automotive brands and the number one European brand in India. We are on track with a 4.5 percent market share at the end of 2016 achieving a robust three-digit growth over 2015. Our focus for 2017 will be to continue and build on our growth journey, reflecting our long-term commitment to the Indian market.”
