Gurugram — In a milestone that deserves its own passport stamp, Nissan Motor India has officially exported its 1.2 millionth Made-in-India car, proving once and for all that what rolls out of Chennai doesn’t stay in Chennai. The celebratory unit — a shiny new Nissan Magnite — set sail for the GCC region, proudly waving the “Made in India, Made for the World” banner at Kamarajar Port, Tamil Nadu.
Magnite Moments and Global Mileage
Since first sending off cars in 2010, Nissan India has built an export résumé more impressive than a travel influencer’s feed. From Sunny sedans to Kicks SUVs and Micra hatchbacks, the company’s cars have found homes in 65 countries spanning Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. The Magnite, launched as a global B-SUV from Indian soil, has been the latest jet-setter, winning hearts (and parking spots) across both right-hand and left-hand drive markets.
A Quote Worth Framing
Saurabh Vatsa, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India, put it simply but proudly:
“We are proud to celebrate yet another historic milestone of exporting 1.2 million Nissan vehicles from India. This reflects the trust of customers across the world in our Made-in-India cars.”
In other words, when Nissan says “global,” they mean it — your next Uber in Dubai or beach ride in Rio could easily be a Magnite with Chennai DNA.
Safety and Swagger
The Magnite isn’t just globetrotting; it’s doing it in style and safety. With a 5-star Global NCAP rating for adult protection and a bold design featuring 20+ best-in-segment features, the car continues to make Indian engineering look world-class. It’s like the overachiever of SUVs — charming, confident, and always camera-ready for the next customs checkpoint.
Next Stop: Tekton Territory
Nissan isn’t stopping at 1.2 million stamps. The automaker is gearing up to launch its new global C-SUV, the Nissan Tekton, in India next year — with export plans already on the horizon. Clearly, Nissan India’s production line has no plans of slowing down; it’s more like a conveyor belt of confidence, rolling straight into the future.
As Nissan’s export fleet keeps racking up frequent flyer miles, one thing’s certain — India isn’t just driving cars anymore; it’s driving the world.
