Renault Group has unveiled futuREady India, the local rollout of its global strategic plan, aimed at accelerating growth in one of its most critical markets. The initiative focuses on strengthening engineering and manufacturing capabilities while positioning India as a key pillar in the Group’s global value chain.
With this strategy, Renault is targeting India to become one of its top three global markets by 2030, underlining the country’s growing importance in its international expansion roadmap.
Aggressive product expansion roadmap
As part of its largest-ever product renewal cycle in India, Renault plans to expand its portfolio to seven models by 2030. The line-up will span key segments, from compact cars to larger SUVs, and will feature multi-energy powertrains, including strong hybrids and fully electric vehicles. All models will be tailored for the Indian market and built on next-generation digital and electronic architecture.
Four new vehicles coming
The upcoming portfolio includes four new vehicles, adding to the already unveiled Renault Duster, which has generated strong early interest. The Group also showcased the Bridger Concept, previewing a new B-segment compact SUV with multi-energy capabilities, including an electric version.
Platform-led innovation and premium positioning
The future portfolio will be underpinned by two platforms, RGEP and RGMP, both designed with a multi-energy approach to support internal combustion engines, hybrid systems and electric drivetrains. Renault is also moving towards a higher value-added positioning, integrating advanced onboard technologies and enhanced powertrain offerings to meet evolving consumer expectations.
Growth engine and a centre of excellence
Renault Group, Chief Executive Officer, François Provost said, “With futuREady, our new vision, we are accelerating international growth by focusing on high-potential markets where we already have a strong presence. India represents more than one-third of the growth potential across our existing markets and is set to become not only a growth engine but also a centre of excellence and export hub.”
Major driver of sustained value for the Group
Renault Group in India, Chief Executive Officer, Stephane Deblaise said, “By 2030, we will offer a seven-model portfolio in India across key segments, featuring a full spectrum of electrified powertrains. With world-class engineering, competitive manufacturing and a clear roadmap, India is poised to be a major driver of sustained value for the Group.”
Strengthening customer and brand experience
Renault is also sharpening its customer focus through the ‘Renault Forever’ initiative, aimed at enhancing service quality and building long-term relationships. As part of this, customers in India will benefit from a simplified ownership experience, including a 7-year warranty.
India as technology and export hub
The Group is deepening its presence in India by leveraging its 15,000-strong workforce and expanding its role as a global technology hub. Its Chennai engineering centre, one of Renault’s largest globally, houses over 6,000 engineers and IT specialists working across vehicle architecture, software and lifecycle management.
Production unit to become strategic export hub
On the manufacturing front, Renault now has full ownership of its Chennai facility, strengthening localisation, supplier integration and supply chain efficiency. The facility is also being developed as a strategic export hub, particularly for markets such as South America.
Export ambitions and long-term vision
Renault aims to generate €2 billion in annual exports from India by 2030, spanning vehicles, components and R&D services. With futuREady India, the Group is reinforcing its long-term commitment, positioning India as a decisive driver of its global growth and competitiveness in the coming decade
