Renault Corporation bolsters its presence in India to reinforce global aspirations

Renault Group, a leading player in the global automotive industry, is set to strengthen its presence in India, the third-largest automotive market in the world. The transformation in India will be spearheaded by Stéphane Deblaise, who will take over as the head of Renault Group in India starting 1st September 2025.

In a significant move, Renault Group has become the sole owner of its Chennai plant, Renault Nissan Automotive India Private Ltd (RNAIPL). This change marks a new era for the company in India, as it prepares to launch a major product offensive, including the launch of four new models.

The first model of this offensive is the New Triber, which is set to make its debut. The Indian market, where over 50% of the population is under 28 years old, is seen as a driver of innovation and a source of inspiration for new generations.

Renault Group operates a state-of-the-art engineering center in India, jointly owned with Nissan. This center is expected to play a crucial role in the company's product development and innovation strategies for the Indian market.

India is emerging as a key territory for Renault Group. The new ownership aims to strengthen Renault Group's ambition to make India a key pillar of its international growth. The Indian plant will also serve as a major actor in the transformation of the automotive industry.

Fabrice Cambolive has been appointed as the Chief Growth Officer responsible for international development, including priority markets such as India. However, as of now, no specific person has been announced as the Director General of Renault Group in India.

The Renault brand is accelerating its development in India as part of its International Game Plan 2027. The company's commitment to India is evident in its ambitious plans, which aim to position India as a significant contributor to Renault Group's global growth.

As Renault Group embarks on this exciting journey in India, it is poised to bring innovative, high-quality products to the Indian market, and to contribute to the transformation of the Indian automotive industry.
