Renault has laid out an aggressive future plan for India, with the French carmaker aiming to make the country one of its top three global markets by 2030. The announcement was made by CEO Francois Provost, as the company shared details of its upcoming product launches, new platforms and power supply strategy.
Renault India has big plans for the Indian market
As part of this roadmap, Renault plans to introduce seven new models in India by the end of the decade, contributing to a wider global rollout of 36 vehicles. The upcoming lineup will include a mix of petrol, CNG, hybrid and fully electric models. The company is also targeting a major shift towards cleaner mobility, with electric vehicles expected to account for nearly 50 percent of its total sales in India by 2030.A key part of this strategy is the introduction of two new platforms. The first is the RGMP (Renault Group Modular Platform), a flexible architecture designed to support multiple powertrains including ICE, CNG, flex-fuel, hybrid and electric setups. It can accommodate both two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations, including electric AWD. The platform will underpin body styles such as SUVs, hatchbacks and MPVs with five- and seven-seat layouts. Renault says the platform will be 90 percent India-specific.
The second architecture, RGEP (Renault Group Entry Platform), will focus on more affordable offerings. It is expected to serve as the basis for future compact cars, including successors to models such as the Renault Ciger and Renault Triber. The platform will support petrol and CNG engines with AMT and CVT gearbox options, and will cater to vehicles in the sub-4 meter segment, measuring between about 3.7 meters and 3.95 meters.
Renault Bridger launch timeline, engine revealed
Renault’s next product wave will be the Berger SUV, which is expected to debut in late 2027. The Berger is initially set to launch with a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine, but has been developed with future powertrains in mind. Renault has already confirmed that fully electric versions of the SUV are in the pipeline, with the EV potentially becoming the brand’s first all-electric offering for India. Notably, India will be the first market globally to get Berger.Apart from product launches, Renault is also looking to strengthen its role as an export hub. The company is targeting annual exports from India of 2 billion Euros by 2030.
