Renault managed to sell over 12,000 cars in the Indian market last month, 278 per cent more than what the carmaker managed to sell in March 2020

Renault India Private Ltd has secured the seventh position in the list of best-selling manufacturers in India in March 2021, ending the month with 12,356 cars sold. As compared to the same month in 2020, the carmaker registered a growth in sales of 278 per cent, since only 3,269 Renault cars were sold in India in March last year.

The carmaker’s 2.3 per cent market share in March 2020 has now inflated to 3.9 per cent in March 2021. Renault recorded a positive month-on-month growth as well, since the carmaker sold 11,043 cars in February 2021, recording a growth in sales by 12 per cent last month.

As of now, Renault retails four cars in the Indian market, namely Kwid, Triber, Duster and the recently launched Kiger. Being a value proposition, the Kiger has certainly helped Renault’s sales in the country. As of now, the Renault Kiger is priced from Rs 5.45 lakh to Rs 9.72 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi), making it the most affordable sub-4m SUV in the country.
