Renault and Nissan registered a powerful recovery in March 2026 in the automobile market in India. The rate of sales growth has been tremendous in both brands that can be explained by the new models that are under development and renovated product lines. As the usage of SUVs and MPVs is on the rise, both Renault and Nissan are gaining their foothold in the Indian market.
The Sales of Renault in 2026 Will Be Put on Hold in March
In March 2026, Renault India registered the astonishing year-on-year (YOY) and month-on-month (MoM) growth of total sales of 5046 units indicating a growth of 77 percent and 44 percent, respectively.
The increase in the sales of the old models e.g. Triber and Kiger can explain this trend as well as by the introduction of the new Renault Duster.
