Commenting on the company’s sales performance, Rakesh Srivastava, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India said, “Nissan India registered a cumulative growth of 203 per cent year to date on the strength of strong demand for the Big, Bold, Beautiful Nissan Magnite overcoming the headwind challenges of Covid-19 & lower supplies due to semiconductor shortages. The customer response for the ‘Make in India, Made for the World’ SUV has been phenomenal with Nissan Magnite being exported to more than 15 countries. Going forward we do see the supply challenges to continue for a few more months while we endeavour to enhance the customer experience with the lowest cost of ownership.”

Nissan India has also registered a cumulative growth of 203 per cent on year to date (YTD) basis. However, we must look at the fact that the market situation in April 2020 to January 2021 period was much worse compared to the same period in the current fiscal year. Additionally, the company’s high-volume product, the Nissan Magnite was only launched in December 2020. So this three-fold growth is merely an anomaly. Nissan’s YTD cumulative export sales grew 36 per cent, compared to the same period in FY2021.
