New Delhi: Renault India reported a 55% year-on-year increase in domestic wholesales in June 2026, selling 4,063 units during the month, as the carmaker extended its run of double-digit monthly growth to ten consecutive months.
The wholly owned subsidiary of Renault Group also posted a 61% rise in first-half sales, with 25,844 units sold between January and June 2026. For a market where momentum can sometimes be as unpredictable as monsoon traffic, Renault’s steady run marks a notable performance.
The company said the sustained growth reflects continued customer acceptance of its evolving product strategy and stronger demand across its portfolio.
Renault India also began exports of the all-new Renault Duster during the month. The first shipment, comprising 750 units, was dispatched to South Africa, marking an important export milestone for the company.
The commencement of Duster exports comes as Renault looks to strengthen its presence beyond the domestic market while continuing to build volume in India. The Duster has historically been one of Renault’s most recognisable nameplates in the country, and its return to export channels adds another layer to the company’s growth strategy.
The June performance adds to Renault India’s improving sales trajectory in 2026, supported by stronger demand and a more active product approach. While the company has not shared model-wise figures, the overall numbers indicate a broader improvement in wholesales during the first half of the year.
With domestic wholesales rising sharply and exports of the all-new Duster now underway, Renault India enters the second half of 2026 with stronger momentum. The challenge will be to keep that growth engine running in a highly competitive market where customers have plenty of options — and very little patience for anything less than value.
