Highlights
- Renault India's total domestic sales for March 2021 stood at 12,356 units
- Renault saw a 12% Month-on-Month growth over February 2021
- In March 2020, before the lockdown was announced Renault sold 3,269 units
Renault India has released the monthly sales numbers for March 2021. The company has registered a total domestic sales of 12,356 units, which is a good 12 per cent Month-on-Month (MoM) growth compared to the 11,043 units. However, the company has also reported registering a Year-on-Year (YoY) growth of 278 per cent, as compared to 3,269 vehicles sold in March 2020. Having said that, we have to consider the fact that last March, India went into a nation-wide lockdown affecting vehicle sales across the industry. So this triple-digit growth can only be considered an anomaly.
