In 2007, Renault decided to extend the operations of this centre from being an observational unit to an out-and-out Design Centre to complement its international network of satellite design centres, such as those in Barcelona, Paris, Bucharest and Kihueng (Korea). The objectives of Renault Design India are to:

• Assist with current and future range development in India.

• Develop a Perceived Quality expertise.

• Develop a range of automobile accessories, from design through to production.

• Integrate Renault Design India within the overall design process, meaning everything from initial design to the production of mock-ups and prototypes, including the digital design phase, the lynchpin of our current operations.

The aim of the “IndDesign” competition launched with Autocar magazine is to pinpoint talented individuals and Design colleges for future partnerships with Renault Design. The entries will help Renault understand and identify the specific Indian cultural attributes that are applicable to automobile design. The competition winner will secure a 3-month work placement at Renault Design India.
