Renault India on Thursday said that it reported a sharp improvement in sales momentum in the second half of calendar year 2025, posting an 18.2 per cent year-on-year growth in H2.
Sales in the fourth quarter of the calendar year grew 27.3 per cent year on year, signalling a turnaround after a period of portfolio transition. December 2025 emerged as one of the company’s strongest months of the year, with wholesales of 3,845 units, up 33.4 per cent compared with December 2024.
Stéphane Deblaise, Chief Executive Officer, Renault Group India, said the improved performance reflected the impact of strategic course correction initiated earlier in the year.
He added that the steady recovery from the third quarter onwards, culminating in a strong Q4, confirmed renewed market traction. Deblaise said the return of the Duster would mark a key milestone in Renault’s next phase of growth in India.
The recovery coincided with several strategic initiatives undertaken in 2025, including the rollout of new ‘R’ stores to enhance retail experience, the establishment of the Renault Design Centre in India to strengthen local product relevance, and the introduction of a three-year standard warranty to improve ownership confidence. Renault also consolidated full ownership of its manufacturing facility during the year, reinforcing its long-term commitment to the Indian market.
Product refreshes played a key role in improving customer response, with the updated Triber launched in July and the new Kiger introduced in August. These moves, along with sharper execution across sales and network operations, contributed to the strong exit momentum in the final quarter.
Renault India said it plans to further build on this momentum in 2026, with the iconic Duster scheduled to be unveiled on January 26.
