Keerthi Prakash, Managing Director of RNAIPL, commented:“RNAIPL is a leader in energy efficiency and sustainability actions within the global network of manufacturing facilities within the Renault Nissan Alliance and we aim to further consolidate this position not only within the Alliance, but also within the industry.
