சென்னை ஆலையில் உற்பத்தியை இரட்டிப்பாக்கும் நிஸ்ஸான்

Nissan Motor has started feasibility work to double production capacity to four lakh units a year at its car plant in Oragadam, near Chennai. Nissan and Renault signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Tamil Nadu state government to set up a greenfield plant in 2008. The plant now employs 3,200 persons. The alliance partners were to invest Rs 4,500 crore in the plant which would be shared by both partners. "Micra rolled out in July last. It is less than a year and we have begun the process to double our capacity," Kiminobu Tokuyama, MD of Nissan India, said. With Renault also announcing aggressive growth plans for the Indian market, the capacity expansion is inevitable. The partners have invested Rs 2,600 crore so far in the plant.
