Renault India’s Managing Director, Venkatram Mamilapalle, confirmed that the electric Kwid will be launched in the domestic market within the next year and a half and will be priced under Rs. 10 lakh. The car will compete with popular electric models such as the Tata Tiago Electric, Citroën eC3, and MG Comet.
Renault’s Electrification Strategy
Renault is committed to its electrification strategy in India and will be launching the electric Kwid as part of this initiative. The India-specific model will be built on the CMF-A architecture and is expected to be launched in 2024 or 2025. The company is focused on bringing the electric Kwid to the market as soon as possible.
Localization and Design

The international version of the electric Kwid has been on sale for several years and has received positive feedback from customers.
