Renault Kwid Deliveries to Get Delayed

Apart from extensive demands, Renault India is already facing a major problem in regards to production of vehicles. Recently the carmaker suspended its production operations in its Chennai plant due to heavy rains and flood. This only indicates that customer who have booked or are planning to book a Kwid anytime around this period will have wait months before getting their hands on their car.

Word around the market is that Renault India plans to ramp up its production capacity to meet the extensive demand once the calamity is over. If that happens Renault will be manufacturing about 15000 to 20000 units per month. With that being said, judging by the current reports about the rains in and around Chennai, we hardly believe that will happen anytime soon.
