India has become a major export hub for Nissan. Cars made in India are now being sent to 65 countries around the world. Nissan is increasing its exports from India due to strong production capacity and high demand.
India Becomes a Global Export Center for Nissan with Magnite LHD Exports
Japan’s automobile company Nissan has emerged as a global export center after starting exports of the left-hand drive (LHD) version of its compact SUV, Magnite, made in India. A senior company official shared this information.
Frank Torres, President of Nissan India Operations, told PTI that apart from the already announced products for the Indian market, the company is also considering launching hybrid and CNG vehicles. Nissan has started exporting 10,000 units of the left-hand drive Magnite to foreign countries.
Nissan to Export Magnite to 65 Countries
Frank Torres, President of Nissan India Operations, said that India is emerging as one of Nissan’s key global export hubs. With the launch of the left-hand drive (LHD) version of the Magnite, the company will now export the SUV to a total of 65 countries. This development will make India one of the largest export centers for Nissan worldwide.
Previously, Nissan Motor India was exporting the Magnite to only 20 countries. However, with the introduction of the LHD version, the company has expanded its export network to 45 more countries. This move strengthens India’s position as a major production and export hub for Nissan.
This month, Nissan has planned to export 2,000 units of the Magnite LHD to markets in West Asia, North Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region. Additionally, over 5,100 units are set to be shipped to selected Latin American markets, including Mexico. With this expansion, Nissan aims to increase its global reach while leveraging India’s manufacturing capabilities.
Nissan to Launch Electric Car in 2026, Plans to Triple Production
By the end of this month, Nissan is expected to complete the supply of over 10,000 units of the left-hand drive (LHD) Magnite. Frank Torres, President of Nissan India Operations, assured that the potential merger between Nissan and Honda will not impact the company’s previously announced product plans.
Nissan has already announced the launch of two mid-size SUVs and an electric SUV for the Indian market. Additionally, the company aims to triple its domestic and export production to 1 lakh units per year by the end of the next financial year.
Torres confirmed that all previously announced plans for the Indian market are on track. Nissan is also considering further steps to accelerate growth in the near future. He mentioned that the company is exploring new fuel options such as hybrid and CNG for its cars. The electric vehicle (EV) launch has already been announced, and Nissan plans to introduce it before the end of the financial year 2026.
