Nissan aims to make India small car hub

When Nissan, which has a partnership with France’s Mahindra Renault, does it, it would be following the footsteps of Suzuki Motor, its rival in home country, and South Korea’s Hyundai Motor, which have benefitted from the massive plants they have set up here. The low-cost, but trained manpower, thousands of component makers and easy access to growing markets make India an attractive destination for small cars. Nissan has said it will invest close to 350 billion yen this year across the globe and India may get a “major chunk” of the investments, Mr Tokuyama said. India will be an export hub for compact cars for many countries, especially for Europe from the second half of 2010.
