The French auto major Renault has decided that it will not like to be considered as an underdog in the Indian market and has firmed up bullish plans for the future in the domestic circuit.

A top company official recently said that the company will be launching its much-popular, Influence in the Indian market by 2011.

Renault India Country General Manager and Managing Director Marc Nassif recently confirmed the development by saying that the company will introduce the first sedan Influence by 2011 and a SUV Koleos by 2012-13 in the Indian market.

While Nassif said that the Influence would be manufactured at the company's facility at Oragadam, he also pointed out the fact that Renault is very serious about the Indian market.

There is no denying to the fact that India's domestic market is driving the economy and as the country wasn’t affected much by the global slowdown many auto majors including Renault have decided to put most of its eggs in the Indian basket.

Moreover, it is believed that the Indian market will only see new levels of growth especially in the automobile industry.
