Nissan is very proud this September, since its Micra model was the most exported car from India, followed by Ford's Ecosport and General Motor's Beat. For the last few years, the Japanese automajor companies Nissan and Ford of US have been on the top slots. Month-over-month, one of the two companies will be number one and two.
7,412 units of Micra were exported in September. Ford's EcoSport sold 6,837 units while General Motors' Beat sold 6,643 units. Micra was launched by Nissan in 2010 and it was one of the successful products for the company both in domestic and export markets. From April to September 2016, Nissan has exported 39,017 units of Micra from India. In September 2016, Nissan reported a 20% growth in overall exports from India as compared to the same month one year earlier. Nissan Motor exported a total of 11,999 vehicles - including both Nissan and Datsun cars - in September. Nissan in India has a portfolio of two brands, Nissan and Datsun.
The president of Nissan India said they are happy to contribute on developing the country's economy and the Make in India program by continuing to be one of the largest automotive exporters from India. Nissan earlier this year also announced the start of exports of the Datsun redi-GO to South Africa, Sri Lanka and Nepal, in addition to the Datsun GO and GO+.
