The carmaker will launch seven new models and five major updates by 2030, while developing India-built vehicles for more than 50 additional left-hand-drive markets.
Stellantis is preparing a fresh push in India, with plans to invest an additional ₹4,000 crore over the next three years as it lines up 12 product launches under its Jeep and Citroën brands and aims to lift its market share by 2030. The announcement, reported by The Hindu and later detailed by Indian business and auto publications, would take the group’s cumulative commitment in the country to about ₹15,000 crore.
The company’s roadmap calls for seven all-new models and five major updates, with the first launch expected in the second quarter of 2027. Business Standard reported that Stellantis wants to use the new line-up to boost annual sales to about 45,000 units within three years, while also widening its retail reach and raising brand visibility.
Jeep is set to receive a broader range of vehicles tailored to India, including its first compact SUV in the market, as well as premium SUVs and a large pickup. Citroën, meanwhile, plans to broaden its line-up with an entry-level car, a hatchback, a large premium SUV and a large multi-purpose vehicle. Stellantis India chief executive Shailesh Hazela has said the wider portfolio is intended to give customers more relevant options and make Citroën more accessible.
India is also becoming more important to Stellantis’ manufacturing and export plans. The company already ships vehicles from India to nearly 50 countries, according to The Hindu, while about 95% of the engines and gearboxes made at its Hosur facility are exported. It also sends right-hand-drive vehicles from its Tiruvallur plant to markets in the Middle East, Africa and Indonesia, and Jeep vehicles from Ranjangaon to Japan.
Under the 2030 plan, Stellantis wants to develop left-hand-drive versions of India-built models, opening access to more than 50 additional markets. The company also aims to lift exports to 60% of its Indian output by 2030, up from roughly 30% now, underscoring how the country is becoming a bigger part of its Asia-Pacific strategy rather than only a domestic sales base.
