~ New’R store at HITEC City is Renault’s 30th upgraded showroom in India ~
Renault India has commenced customer deliveries of the new Duster Strong Hybrid E-Tech 160, marking the beginning of its festive season celebrations. The first delivery took place at the company’s newly inaugurated new’R store in HITEC City, Hyderabad, which is also Renault’s largest showroom in the city.
Mr. Francisco Hidalgo, VP – Sales and Marketing, Renault Group India, handed over the keys to the first customer, Mr. T Krishna Gopal, CEO, Eduzi Academy.
Hyderabad is among the leading markets for bookings of the newly launched SUV, reflecting growing interest in hybrid mobility solutions.
Speaking on the occasion, Francisco Hidalgo, VP – Sales & Marketing, Renault Group India, said, “During our planning phase, we set ourselves an ambitious target: to bring the Duster Hybrid to customers in less than a year, in time for the festive season. We are proud to have delivered on that promise, and we begin handing over the Duster Strong Hybrid E-Tech 160 to our customers around Diwali. The strong response since launch reflects growing acceptance of hybrid technology in India. Our commitment, however, goes beyond the product. Hyderabad is an important market for us, and with the new’R store we are building a best-in-class buying and ownership journey, so that every customer enjoys the same standard of experience at the showroom and in service as they do behind the wheel.”
Spread across 7,000 sq. ft., the new showroom can display eight cars and is the 30th new’R store in India. Operated in partnership with VVC Group, it is the group’s third Renault showroom in Hyderabad.
Renault plans to upgrade its showrooms across 24 major cities to the new’R format by July 2027.
