Renault resumes export of Made-in-India cars to Sri Lanka, expands global footprint

Chennai, Sep 18 (UNI) Car makers Renault India on Friday resumed export of its Made in India cars to Sri Lanka, expanding its global footprint to 16 countries.
The first shipment of 100 vehicles, comprising the all-new Triber, Kwid and Kiger, has departed from Chennai, marking the company's return to the island nation.
Renault re-entered the Sri Lankan market in partnership with AMW Motors, one of the country’s leading automotive distributors. The partnership will support Renault’s renewed commercial presence in the Emerald Isles and provide the foundation for the brand’s next phase of growth in the market.
Company Vice President, Sales and Marketing Francisco Hidalgo said "resumption of exports to Sri Lanka is an important step in our international growth journey. We see significant potential to expand the reach of vehicles engineered and manufactured in India, while strengthening India’s role as an export base for Renault. Our focus is to build sustainable markets over the long term, supported by strong local partnerships and a product portfolio suited to customer needs.”
The vehicles being exported to Sri Lanka are manufactured at Renault India’s facility in Oragadam near Chennai. The plant supports both domestic requirements and international markets, underscoring the growing role of Renault’s Indian manufacturing operations within the Group’s wider business.
Renault India also plans to broaden its offering in Sri Lanka over time, with the New Duster among the products slated for introduction. The expanded portfolio will enable the company to participate across a wider range of segments as it rebuilds its presence in the country.
India already serves as an important source of Renault vehicles for overseas markets. It has exported nearly 200,000 vehicles from India to date, with destinations including South Africa and Saudi Arabia, alongside several other international markets.
