The Renault-Nissan Alliance has signed an agreement with
Kamarajar Port (KPL) on March 17th to enhance the exports of cars manufactured
in Chennai by Renault Nissan Automotive India (RNAIPL) for both regional and
global destinations
The Alliance was the first car
manufacturer in the region to commence exports of cars through Kamarajar Port. For over more than 13 years, the Alliance says it has exported
over 1.15 million cars from Kamarajar Port to around 108 global destinations.
The agreement builds on the existing partnership between the Renault Nissan
Alliance and Kamarajar Port and will facilitate further exports of cars via
KPL. For FY2023 (April 2022 – February 2023) the partners have exported a
total of 82,849 vehicles, which includes the Renault Kiwd, Renault Kiger,

markets across the world. We continue to add new export destinations to
vehicles manufactured at our plant in Oragadam, building on our 1 million cars
exported milestone from 2022.”
