No Plans To Exit India, Says Nissan MD

New Delhi: Automaker Nissan has no plans to exit the Indian market, a top company official said on Wednesday, rejecting reports speculating on the company’s future in the country. The company on the contrary plans to introduce three new products in the Indian market by early part of 2027 and also aims to add 20 more dealerships this year.

Nissan Motor India MD Saurabh Vatsa said: “It is really important that I must put to rest any speculation that Nissan is planning to exit India and Re-nault Nissan Automotive India Pvt Ltd (RNAIPL) stake dilution is an indication of that.” “It’s very im-portant to understand that we are absolutely well entrenched in India... our production plans, our fu-ture capacity all are in place. They are all secure, nothing is out of sync, we are here and we are here to stay,” he noted.

The company will launch a seven-seater B-segment MPV in the first quarter of 2026 cal-endar year, followed by a C-SUV five- and seven-seater by early 2027. Acknowledging that few dealer parties have left the brand, he said the company is bringing in new sales part-ners.
