With the export of its first consignment of 350 Dusters to the United Kingdom and Ireland, Renault India has made its first foray into right-hand-drive markets worldwide. The company's manufacturing plant at Oragadam, near Chennai, is currently the only facility globally to produce the right-hand-drive Duster, which is also sold in India.

"Oragadam is the only plant of Renault that manufactures right-hand-drive models. So naturally, it will become a hub for all markets across the world," said Marc Nassif, managing director, Renault India.
