The price hike comes at a time when the auto industry is still recovering from the slowdown after the pandemic. Festive demand helped sustain the growth after September but the pace slowed to 5% in November from 14% in October. Renault becomes the latest firm to announce a price hike after Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Mahindra, Ford and more.

Renault has previously introduced models such as Triber AMT, Kwid 1.0L RXL/ NeoTech edition and Duster Turbo Petrol range in the Indian market. The company said that these launches have helped it to further strengthen its position in the country. The firm is also planning another model in the form of Kiger B-SUV for India which will roll out in 2021.
