Renault India Plans Hybrid and CNG Vehicles to Make Up Half of Sales Mix
Renault India CEO Stephane Deblaise highlighted the company's focus on hybrid and CNG vehicles, which could make up nearly half of its sales mix within two to three years. The automaker recently launched a strong hybrid version of its Duster SUV and plans to introduce factory-fitted CNG models. Renault positions hybrids as a practical alternative to diesel, aiming to offer comparable pricing with better fuel efficiency. Hybrid adoption in India remains limited due to model availability and performance concerns, but demand is expected to grow.
