The Nissan Magnite, born of the ‘Make in India, Make for the World’ philosophy, is a true global success and we look forward to expanding our overseas footprint with it.”
Nissan India’s strong export performance is in line with its focus on the global market and is backed by the contemporary and aspirational nature of Nissan’s offerings. Nissan Motor India crossed the key milestone of exporting one million units in July 2022.
