Renault Duster

Renault Duster Launch Date

The new-gen Renault Duster is scheduled to make its India debut on January 26, 2026. We expect the new Duster to launch before the end of this financial year, by March 2026. 

Duster Price in India

The new Duster will be locally developed at Renault’s Chennai based manufacturing facility. Renault will aim to achieve higher level of localisation to achieve competitive pricing. We expect the new Renault Duster price in India could start at Rs 1000000 and extends up to Rs 1600000 for the top-end variant, ex-showroom.
