This new centre, housed within the Renault Nissan Technology & Business Centre, is a key step in strengthening Renault's presence in both the Indian and global markets.

This move comes nearly two decades after Renault opened its first design studio in India in 2005, in Pune, even before setting up its manufacturing plant in Tamil Nadu. Over the years, Renault has continued to grow and expand its footprint in India.
