COLOMBO: Nissan Motor has exported a total of 11,999 vehicles including both Nissan and Datsun cars in September, a 20 per cent rise over the same month a year ago.
“Nissan is proud to contribute to the country’s economy and the Make in India program by continuing to be one of the largest automotive exporters from India. Our strategy to use our plant in India as an export hub underlines our significant presence here and also demonstrates our long-term plans for growth,” Guillaume Sicard, President, Nissan India Operations, said. “The Chennai plant is the largest and most advanced in the alliance, and directly and indirectly we have created 40,000 jobs in India, including 6,000 high value engineering jobs at our R&D centre,” he added.
Earlier this year, Nissan started exports of the Datsun redi-GO to South Africa, Sri Lanka and Nepal, in addition to the Datsun GO and GO+.
