Made-in-India Citroen E-C3 Export to International Markets Commence
Citroen has announced the commencement of exports of locally manufactured e-C3 to international markets. This milestone marks Citroen as the first multinational car manufacturer in India to achieve this remarkable feat, underscoring its dedication to the "Make in India" initiative for electric mobility. The move is aligned with Citroen’s global ambitions of democratising electric mobility to increase the adoption of sustainable and clean modes of transportation.
This ‘Make in India’ Citroen e-C3 symbolizes the strength of the Indian-French industrial cooperation and our mutual commitment towards achieving cleaner mobility at the global scale. Indeed, the Citroen e-C3’s journey materializes the core ambition of the strategic partnership between our two countries, as it was already highlighted in July by the French Minister for Ecological Transition, when he came to Chennai for the G20 and I am glad to observe that this car seems to be a success on the Indian market, with already a few thousands of it sold in the last year. As we are celebrating a first shipment towards Indonesia, I am pleased to see that Stellantis primarily targets ASEAN countries for exporting its “Make in India” electric vehicles. Working hand in hand to deliver cleaner mobility solutions at affordable prices is an important dimension of the Indo-French contribution to the advent of an open, inclusive and sustainably developed Indo-Pacific region, as highlighted in the Indo-French roadmap for the Indo-Pacific signed last year between our governments.
