Nissan Motor India Pvt Ltd have started trial exports of their made-in-India Micra from their Oragadam plant in Chennai. The first consignment of six cars were sent to Spain via the Ennore port. The cars left Chennai on Saturday and are expected to reach Spain in 22 days.
“Trial transportation for exports is a very important milestone for us as we gear up for exports to Europe from second half of 2010,” Kiminobu Tokuyama, Nissan Motor India managing director, told reporters today. India is an export hub for Nissan’s Micra and cars made here will be eventually exported to more than 100 countries in Africa, Middle East and Europe. Nissan Motors plans to export around 110,000 cars out of India in 2011 and increase it to 180,000 in the future.
Tokuyama said production of the Micra for the domestic market will begin next month and for the export market in July.
