Renault is eyeing at the Indian automobile market like no other brand and has extremely productive plans in its mind. As mentioned in our previous post the brand will initially enter with the Renault Fluence sedan and the Renault Koleos SUV.

But can a company survive without a good dealership network? Well the answer is definitely not. So Renault is analyzing all the feasibilities of the number of dealerships it should start with and is planning to grow the network to 70 before 2013.

A company official had stated, "We have planned to introduce the ‘Fluence’ by mid 2011 and at that time we will have around 7-10 dealerships in the country… The dealerships would be operational in Tier I cities,"

"It works like this — by next year end we will have 30 dealerships… And in 2012 we will add another 30-35 dealerships. By 2013, there will be about 70 dealerships covering major cities and towns…," he added.

He also assured that if the response is overwhelming then the line up will also be increased to five cars by the year 2013.

Safety has always been the primary concern of most of the big shots as sometimes they are likely to face some kinds of trouble. Whether its the President of India or the Prime Minister, apart from the squad of policemen that these people are surrounded with, other safety measures are also kept in mind.

The most common of them all is an armoured or bullet proof vehicle that these big shots travel in. A few international brands offer armoured models of their cars while the the rest of them are modified by respective agencies specialized in doing so.

Latest buzz in the world of Armoured vehicles is that Tata owned Jaguar and Land Rover, also known as JLR has launched armoured models of SUVs Range Rover and Land Rover Discovery. These extremely safe cars will certainly be considered by buyers who are on a look out for the same.

"We have just started exploring the market, we know there is some potential but it will be too premature to put a number on how many armoured vehicles we intend to sell in India," Suri added.

The company is also gearing up for launching Jaguar XJ armoured sedan variant soon so as to complete the line up for such offerings.
