Renault India Records 77% March Sales Growth; Duster Deliveries Underway

Renault India reported a strong surge in domestic sales in March 2026, dispatching 5,046 units, a 77% year-on-year increase from the same month last year. The growth was fueled by initial deliveries of the newly launched Duster SUV, alongside steady performance from the Kiger and Triber models. This marked Renault’s highest monthly sales in recent quarters.

The Kiger and Triber continued to anchor the brand’s performance, accounting for 63% of March volumes. Month-on-month, sales climbed from February’s 3,495 units, building on a positive streak that included a 33.6% year-on-year rise in January. For the full fiscal year 2026, Renault sold 42,018 units in India, up 11% from 37,900 units in FY25.

Renault attributed the sales upswing to refreshed variants and stronger market execution. Updates to the Triber and Kiger since late 2025 resonated with budget-conscious buyers seeking compact SUVs and MPVs. The third-generation Duster, now arriving at dealerships with turbo-petrol variants, adds competitive firepower to the mid-size SUV segment. Strong-hybrid versions are expected to follow soon, complementing pre-launch bookings that began at Rs 21,000.

Executives noted that the March performance reflects Renault’s rebound strategy after softer years. February 2026 sales had already risen 31% year-on-year, highlighting the company’s accelerating momentum. As part of the Renault-Nissan alliance, the automaker continues to focus on value-driven products targeted at India’s mass market.

Looking ahead, Renault expects the Duster to further boost volumes amid growing SUV demand. Network enhancements, competitive pricing, and refreshed offerings are intended to strengthen the brand’s position against larger rivals. March’s strong numbers signal sustained traction as the company enters FY27, reinforcing optimism about continued growth in India’s highly competitive passenger vehicle segment.
