Nissan and its JV partner Renault in India did a better business in the last fiscal, when compared to market leaders like Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Mahindra, Tata and many more (we are talking about the GROWTH). The Japanese auto-major has registered an annual growth of 11 per cent – sold a total of 36,975 units against 33,270 units in 2011-12. Not to forget that the last fiscal was not up to the mark in terms of sales for many manufacturers.

Nissan Sunny, the company's flagship sedan accounted most in total sales at 24,011 units in last financial year. Nissan Micra hatch accounted for 11,454 units, Evalia the urban-class utility vehicle launched in October 2012 recorded a 1,396 sales. The rest of the units comes from Teana, X-Trail SUV and 370z sports car. Mr. Kenichior Yomura, Managing Director & CEO, Nissan Motor India Pvt. Ltd. Said that “ Given the operating environment, this is a good performance”.

Despite slowdown, Nissan India maintained the sales momentum in India and continued to scale up their operations in line as per their long term strategic goals for the Indian auto industry. The company has also increased their dealership network to 95 in the past 12 months, in order to present Nissan brand closer to more and more people.

Nissan-Renault alliance have big Indian dreams and wants to capture around 10 per cent of the market by 2016. Both opened the manufacturing plant in Oragadam in Chennai way back in 2010 and first vehicle Micra was produced in 2011. This alliance-dedicated facility has empowered Renault and Nissan to produce vehicles locally, and as a result, Renault India has launched 5 new vehicles in 17 months. The company has launched Fluence and Koleos in 2011, Pulse, Duster and Scala in 2012.

Mr. Nitish Tipnis, Director – Sales & Marketing, Hover Automotive India (the national Sales company for Nissan India) said that – the company is still growing despite market slowdown only because of their strong customer focus, which has allowed Nissan to keep its sales target consistent. He also added that Nissan will bring new and exciting products throughout the next year to meet the customer needs.
