Nissan on rumors of shutting: Nissan India has rejected speculation to stop its operation in India. After the recent media reports, Nissan has made it clear that the company is not going from India and its commitment to the Indian market remains completely.
The company has said that it will not only continue its presence in India, but is also working on a plan to launch new vehicles in the coming time.
Operations will continue in India
Nissan India has clarified in its official statement that it is fully committed to its operations, dealers, partners and customers in India. The company has said that the sale and service of existing models in India will continue as before and new models will also be introduced in the coming time. There has been no change in NISSAN’s declared strategy. This includes a plan to launch a new BMPV (Big Modular Platform Vehicle) and two new compact SUVs (C-SUVs). Apart from this, export schemes from India will also continue continuously under the company’s ‘One Car, One World’ policy.
‘Reports of closure are just speculation’
Recently, a report by Reuters claimed that NISSAN could cover its operations from some other markets including India. Reacting to this, the company said that in some reports, the closure of the plants has been said, but these are just rumors. The company has also clarified that no such official announcement has been made on its behalf.
Renault-nissan deal
In March 2025, the Renault Group announced that it was Renault Nissan Automotive India Pvt. Ltd. (RNAPL) is buying Nissan’s 51% stake. After this deal, RNAULT has now got 100% stake in RNAPL. However, this deal does not mean that Nissan is going out of India.
The company is getting restructured at the global level
NISSAN is undergoing a large re-structure plan globally. Under this process, the company has planned to pruning more than 10,000 employees. It is preparing to cover its operations from markets like South Africa and Argentina. Two production plants will be discontinued in Japan. There is a plan to reduce the number of global production centers from 17 to 10. Also, about 15% of the total employees will be trimmed. However, Nissan has made it clear that this restructuring is being done only at the global level and it will not have any effect on India’s operations.
