Renault re-launches Duster in India

New Delhi: French carmaker Renault on Tuesday expanded its product range in India, with the introduction of the all-new version of mid-sized SUV Duster, as it plans to enhance its market share in the overall passenger vehicle segment.

With Duster, the company now has four products in its portfolio. The other three brands are Kwid, Triber and Kiger. "Overall, we want to come back as soon as possible to where we were (in terms of market share and volumes), not such a long time ago," Renault India Vice President (Sales & Marketing) Francisco Hidalgo told reporters here.

Duster will be competing with the likes of Maruti Grand Vitara, Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta, and Tata Sierra in one of the most competitive segments in the domestic passenger vehicle segment. The automaker, at its peak in 2016, had a market share of around 4 per cent in the domestic passenger vehicle market.
