For the last three-four years, the Renault Nissan alliance has been making claims about stepping into the electric vehicle business in India and then retracting those decisions several times. With severe storms hitting the alliance on various fronts, India was kind of overlooked for a while, especially as the auto sector's growth was nowhere close to the predicted volumes for well over a decade. Renault nonetheless quietly went about building several products for the sub-4 metre passenger car market, enjoying enormous success in these segments. The Kwid, Triber, and more recently the Kiger have a strong captive audience. They tried the Captur, but the numbers were dismal. Now Renault is back to giving electrification in India a shot and they intend to start that journey with the Megane E-Tech Electric.
