The Chennai-based manufacturing plant has manufactured more than 2.5 million vehicles and exported 1.15 million of them to over 108 destinations. As part of the USD 600 million investment by the Renault Nissan Alliance in India, RNAIPL will be manufacturing six new models of cars, including two EVs over the next few years, the company said.

Keerthi Prakash, Managing Director of RNAIPL, said: “As we celebrate RNAIPL's 15-year journey, we take immense pride in the remarkable growth we have achieved in these years and the various milestones we have crossed in our pursuit of manufacturing excellence, delivering value to customers and contributing to the local economy. We remain committed to bringing the best of Nissan and Renault products to customers in India and abroad while at the same time reducing the impact of our operations on the environment and supporting the sustainable development of our local communities.”
