The car manufacturer has two business partners in the country so far. A deal between Nissan and leading commercial vehicle manufacturer Ashok Leyland is already through for developing SUVs for the Indian car market. The auto major is just short of launching the Nissan NV200 SUV in 2012. Apart from this, the auto major apparently has another SUV launch in the pipeline. SUVs on one hand, Nissan has been hoping to launch small budget cars specifically for India .
