Speaking about the positive sales momentum, Rakesh Srivastava, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India, said, "With the unprecedented pandemic challenging demand & supply, the industry declined in FY20.

Going forward into the new financial year, we look forward to maintaining this growth momentum."

Nissan introduced a third shift at its Tamil Nadu plant in February to meet the strong demand for the Magnite

Nissan's strong sales momentum was achieved with the launch of the new Magnite SUV that has catapulted the brand's volumes. The automaker currently has three models on sale in India - the Nissan Magnite, Kicks and the GT-R - and it's safe to say that the subcompact SUV is the flag-bearer when it comes to volumes. The automaker has bagged over 40,000 bookings for the Magnite with the waiting period extending in months for the SUV.
