Renault India Gains Strong Momentum in H2 CY2025; December Sales Rise 33.4% YoY

NEW DELHI:
Renault India, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Renault Group, reported a strong sales acceleration in the second half of CY2025, driven by consistent improvement in quarterly performance and a sharp surge in December. The company recorded 18.2% year-on-year growth in H2 CY2025, with Q4 sales growing by 27.3%, reflecting a clear turnaround in market traction.

December 2025 emerged as one of the strongest months of the year, with Renault India selling 3845 units, marking a 33.4% increase over December 2024. The consistent recovery gained momentum from Q3 onwards, which closed with positive year-on-year growth, and further strengthened in Q4 as refreshed products reached customers across markets.

Commenting on the performance, Stephane Deblaise, CEO, Renault Group India, said, “The H2 performance of CY2025 clearly reflects the direction we have taken for Renault in India. After a phase of portfolio transition, the consistent recovery from Q3 onwards – culminating in a strong Q4 and our best monthly performance in December, confirms that the course correction we initiated is delivering tangible results. The momentum we are seeing today is a direct outcome of that approach. With the right building blocks now in place, we are entering the next phase with confidence, and the return of the iconic Duster will mark a significant step forward in Renault’s renewed journey in India.”

The recovery in sales momentum coincided with a series of decisive strategic actions undertaken in 2025, underscoring Renault India’s long-term commitment to the market. These included the rollout of new ‘R’ stores to enhance retail experience, the establishment of the Renault Design Centre in India to strengthen local product relevance, the introduction of a 3-year standard warranty to improve ownership confidence, and the consolidation of 100% ownership of the manufacturing facility, reinforcing Renault Group’s commitment to India as a key growth market.

Renault India also refreshed its core products during the year, with new Triber launched in July and new Kiger in August, helping drive improved customer response in the latter part of the year. Combined with sharper execution across sales and network operations, these initiatives contributed to the strong exit momentum seen in Q4.

Notably, the company is bringing the Iconic Duster back to India, scheduled for unveil on 26th January 2026.
