A stake in Avtoframos plant in Moscow will be handed over to Moscow authorities. It will be a "deal for a ruble" with the option to buy back shares within 5-6 years, said Manturov.

Manturov: If Moscow plant of Renault is transferred to Moscow it will not be mothballed, it will be used to set up production of other cars, possibly Lada.

Manturov: The sale of Renault's share in AvtoVAZ to Chinese companies is not discussed.
