Renault has planned an aggressive future 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 electrification strategy.
Renault India’s 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 line-up will include a mix of petrol, CNG, hybrid and fully electric models. The company is also aiming for a major shift towards clean mobility, with electrified vehicles expected to account for around 50 per cent of its total sales in India by 2030.An important part of this strategy is the launch of two new platforms. The first is the RGMP (Renault Group Modular Platform), which is 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 SUV, hatchback and MPV with five- and seven-seat layouts. Renault says that this platform will be 90 percent focused on India.
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 Kiger and Renault Triber. The platform will support petrol and CNG engines with AMT and CVT gearbox options, and will cater to vehicles measuring approximately between 3.7 meters and 3.95 meters in the sub-4 meter segment.
Renault Bridger launch timeline, engine revealed
Leading Renault’s upcoming product wave will be the Bridger SUV, which is expected to launch in India in late 2027. The Bridger is initially set to launch with a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine, but it has been developed keeping future electrification 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 receive Bridger.Apart from product launches, Renault also wants to strengthen its role as an export hub. The company is targeting annual exports of 2 billion euros from India by 2030.
