Renault India surpasses full-year 2025 sales in just 10 months; Jan-Oct 2026 sales grow 31% year-on-year
Renault India, a wholly owned subsidiary of Renault Group, registered domestic sales of 39,955 units during January-October 2026, a robust 31% increase over the 30,558 units recorded during the same period last year.
Significantly, the company has already surpassed its full-year 2025 sales volume of 38,065 units, achieving nearly 5% growth over the entire CY2025 performance within just the first ten months of 2026, underscoring the strength of its product portfolio and growing customer acceptance.
The company also made a strong start to the final quarter of the year, recording 4,577 units in October 2026. Monthly sales grew 35% compared to September 2026 (3,399 units) and were 39% higher than July 2026, the opening month of Q3, reflecting sustained demand momentum and reinforcing Renault India's positive growth trajectory as it entered Q4 2026. The performance highlights the company's ability to maintain consistent market traction while building on the gains achieved throughout the year.
Contributing to this strong start were the encouraging market response to the Renault Triber 100 PS, which continued to gain momentum, and positive traction for the Renault Kwid across key markets.
Further strengthening its portfolio, Renault India recently introduced its globally acclaimed E-Tech Hybrid technology in the country with the launch of the New Renault Duster Strong Hybrid E-Tech 160, at a competitive starting price of INR 16.99 lakh.
The vehicle is powered by a 1.8-litre petrol engine, two electric motors and a 1.4 kWh battery, delivering a maximum combined system output of 160 PS and peak motor torque of 208 Nm.
Leveraging Renault's globally proven hybrid expertise, the advanced powertrain delivers an ARAI-certified fuel efficiency of 29 km/l, enables up to 80% of city driving in pure electric mode, and offers fuel savings of up to 29% compared with diesel.
Deliveries of the New Renault Duster Strong Hybrid E-Tech 160 are yet to commence and will begin shortly.
