M&M previously had a partnership with Renault to build and sell the Logan sedan in India, a deal which ended in 2010.

Peugeot said: “The Indian market is obviously important to us for the future, but at this stage we are not in discussion with anybody on a rapid return to India. Our current priority is the recovery of the group.”

Mahindra declined to comment.

Peugeot has not been present in India since 1997 despite a number of attempts to return to the country.
