The Indian unit of the Japanese auto giant Nissan Motors is planning to double its sales in the domestic market in the current year. However, the company is expecting their exports to remain static during this period.
While speaking to reporters in Chennai, Nissan Motor India Managing Director and CEO Takayuki Ishida said, "We are expecting almost doubling our sales in this financial year. We are very well on track with Micra, Sunny and Evalia. The Evalia model will generate a very new type of customers." Speaking to PTI on the matter, he added, "For Nissan, Evalia buyer will be a new customer. They may not be Micra or Sunny customers."
Last year, the company managed to sell a total of 40,000 units in the domestic market along with selling around 1 lakh unit in the overseas market at the same time. The company manufactures Micra hatchback and Sunny sedan at their Oragadam plant, which jointly established with their global partner Renault.
The company has recently unveiled their second joint venture product with Ashok Leyland – the Mutly Purpose Vehicle Nissan Evalia.
