Nissan INDIA

Nissan Motor India Private Ltd. (NMIPL), a 100% subsidiary of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., was incorporated in 2005 with a vision of ‘Enriching People’s Lives’ through latest Nissan Technology and products.

In February 2008, Nissan together with its global alliance partner Renault signed a MoU with Government of Tamil Nadu to set up a manufacturing plant at Oragadam, near Chennai with an investment of Rs. 4500 crore over a period of 7 years. On March 17, 2010, the Renault-Nissan alliance plant was inaugurated in a record time of 21 months since its groundbreaking ceremony in June 2008.

In India, Nissan offers innovative and exciting products across hatchback, sports, SUV and sedan segments. Nissan has successful introduced two locally-produced models in India in less than two years - Micra & Sunny. Nissan Micra, the first locally made global compact hatchback, marked Nissan’s foray into the mass market. Nissan Sunny is a blend of smart technology, next-generation efficiency and generous cabin space. Other existing range of products include the X-Trail (SUV model), the Teana (luxury Sedan) and 370Z (iconic sports car) – all three imported from Japan as CBU (completely built units). NMIPL also commenced exports in September 2010 to more than 100 countries including Europe, Middle East and Africa.

NMIPL has appointed Hover Automotive India (HAI) as their sole distributor for India to handle sales and marketing, dealer development, customer relationship management and after sales in India. The company has 70 dealers operational in major cities across the country and aims to have more than 150 dealers by 2013.

In line with its global philosophy of corporate sustainability, Nissan is demonstrating its corporate commitment through various sustainable programs. We have completed constructing 16 residential homes for relocated families from construction site, apart from constructing local Police Station and a fire service station in the Oragadam village. Nissan has also partnered with ‘Habitat for Humanity’ for providing shelter to 75 families by constructing homes for the socially and economically less fortunate section of the society.

India is a key growth market for Nissan. The company continues its quest to optimize product development and deliver highly innovative technology to the India market.
