Renault’s Sandero now gets a green signal to enter the Indian car market in 2009.

The car was supposed to be manufactured at Renault-Nissan’s new facility situated in Greenfield, Chennai. But due to the current downturn in the car market, both Renault and Nissan are not keen to start any new venture in the new facility. There were market speculations that even the production of the Logan was to be shifted to the facility in Chennai.

But now, after experiencing a severe backdrop, Renault plans to shift both the production to Mahindra’s facility situated in Nashik. Possibilities are there that the proposed Sandero could be built by Mahindra. The joint venture now even plans to produce Logan in the Nashik’s facility.

Sandero is a five-door hatchback with the basic features adapted from its sibling the Logan. The car is spacious, fuel efficient and light on pocket which makes its perfectly fit for the Indian market.

It is known that both the Logan sedan and the Sandero hatchback share most of the car components. Under the circumstances, producing both the cars in the same facility would make logistics easy. The joint venture may earn good profits by implementing these plans.
