So is renault going to import ckd's from India? They have invested 6300 crores in India and 5000 more planned but their plants are running at 50/60% capacity. Imports from India would be cheaper logistics wise and the same time utilize their idle capacity

read again before quoting - "assembly plants" which differ from a full fledged manufacturing unit. There is a difference between assembling and manufacturing new cars and kits from steel made in India. Renault exports most of the cars made in India. Localisation for the upcoming Duster and Kwid is ~95% and for older models more than 80%.

Lol.. thats called KLPD from dehati aurat to a wannabe angrezi gawar

on topic: I guess Renault's manufacturing units were setup with the idea of expanding to other asian countries and thus we see this development in Pakistan. But anyway , its a god news for Pakistan.. this should help in a lot of employement.

Nice... our Chennai plant will churn out CKD's for you guys to assemble.

Frenches are also corrupt. Hopefully they will manage ways to Pakistani auto market. Of course, they will not assemble any thing in Pakistan according to European standards, nonetheless it will be good addition.
Renos are good, though give pain in a$$ when need repair work.
