The capacity is divided equally between Renault India and Nissan Motor India.[3] Renault is constructing a small car powered by an 800cc engine, to compete with Maruti Suzuki's Alto, Hyundai India's Eon and Chevrolet's Spark, in the segment, that makes up for about 40–45% of India's car market. RNAIPL has achieved production target of 5,00,000 lakhs vehicle in the month of October 2013 in the short span of 40 months after start of production.[4] RNAIPL is one of the most profitable company which adopts Japanese manufacturing policy of Genba Kanri.[citation needed] The company works on the style of maximum productivity with minimum resources.
