New Delhi, Jan 1 (.) Renault India reported a strong recovery in sales performance in the second half of calendar year 2025, supported by improved quarterly momentum and a sharp rise in December sales.
The automaker posted an 18.2 per cent year-on-year growth in H2 2025, with the fourth quarter emerging as a key driver as sales increased by 27.3 per cent, indicating a clear turnaround in market traction.
December 2025 stood out as one of Renault India’s strongest months during the year. The company sold 3,845 units in December, registering a year-on-year growth of 33.4 per cent compared to the same month in 2024.
The recovery trend began in the third quarter, which closed with positive annual growth, and strengthened further in the fourth quarter as refreshed products reached customers across markets.
The improved performance was driven largely by product updates and strategic initiatives undertaken during the year.
Renault India refreshed its core portfolio with the launch of the new Triber in July and the new Kiger in August. These updates helped generated better customer response in the latter half of the year and supported the strong exit momentum seen in the final quarter.
Commenting on the performance, the company’s leadership said the second-half results reflect the effectiveness of the course correction implemented after a phase of portfolio transition. The steady recovery from the third quarter onwards, culminating in a strong fourth quarter and the best monthly performance in December, was seen as validation of the company’s revised strategy for the Indian market.
The sales recovery also coincided with a series of strategic actions that underlined Renault India’s long-term commitment to the country.
During 2025, the company rolled out new ‘R’ stores to enhance the retail experience, set up the Renault Design Centre in India to strengthen local product relevance, and introduced a three-year standard warranty to improve ownership confidence.
Renault Group also consolidated 100 per cent ownership of its manufacturing facility, reinforcing India’s position as a key growth market for the company.
Alongside sharper execution across sales and network operations, these initiatives helped Renault India close the year on a strong note. Building on this momentum, the company is preparing for the next phase of its India journey with the return of the iconic Duster, scheduled to be unveiled on January 26, 2026.
The strong second-half performance and positive exit momentum have positioned Renault India with renewed confidence as it enters 2026, supported by a refreshed product lineup and a clearer strategic direction for the market.
