The alliance continues to add new export destinations to vehicles manufactured at the plant in Oragadam (in Chennai), building on the 10 lakh cars exported milestone from 2022, he added.

"The global Renault Nissan Alliance has recently announced a new long-term vision for India, increasing production and R&D activities, introducing electric vehicles, and transitioning to carbon-neutral manufacturing. This agreement will help ensure that we are able to further strengthen our exports from India," Torres added.

KPL's Paliwal said, "This partnership with the alliance is an exciting opportunity for Kamarajar Port to further contribute to India's growth story through positive impact from automotive exports."

The Chennai plant caters to both domestic market as well as exports and it has manufactured over 24 lakh vehicles of both Renault and Nissan with vehicles exported to 108 countries.

So far Renault and Nissan have invested USD 1.8 billion towards the Indian economy and created direct and indirect employment and skilling opportunities for over 70,000 workers, the statement said.
