Nissan Motor India on Friday said it has shipped the 300,000th car made from its Chennai facility, which was commissioned three years ago.
Nissan India president Kenichiro Yomura said the company began exports in September 2010 and is the first auto company to use the Ennore Port as an export gateway.
Currently, Nissan exports to over 100 countries/regions, including Africa, West Asia and Europe.
Commenting on the milestone, Yomura said the achievement underscores the company's manufacturing capabilities. The company has a 10-year agreement with the Ennore Port for shipments, he added.
Nissan started work on the Oragadam plant, near Chennai in 2008 envisaging an investment of Rs 4,500 crore over next seven years and on March 17, 2010, the plant called Renault Nissan Automotive India, was inaugurated.
Nissan Motor India is a fully-owned subsidiary of Nissan Motor of Japan and sells the hatchback Micra, sedans Sunny and Tenia and SUV X-trail, while Renault rolls out its hot-selling entry-level SUV Duster from this plant.
