India was the world's fastest-growing car market in 2024 (+7%) and is currently the third largest, with real potential for the expansion of the Renault brand. Launched in India in 2012, Duster was the first SUV in this country, creating a segment (B+ SUV) that now accounts for almost one-quarter of retail sales in this country. Duster made a lasting impression on many Indian customers. More than just a car, it symbolises ambition, success and freedom. The success of Renault Duster is part of a wider picture, with nearly two million units already sold in around a hundred countries all over the world. The launch of New Duster in India is in line with the goals of Renault's International Game Plan 2027, for markets outside Europe. The aim of this ambitious plan is to design, develop and build vehicles as closely as possible to their markets of sale, in order to better address customer expectations. New Renault Duster will be assembled at the Chennai plant (RNAIPL). After Latin America, South Korea, Turkey and Morocco, the brand is activating its fifth and final industrial hub outside Europe as part of its international offensive.
