Speaking at a media roundtable on Wednesday, Saurabh Vatsa, managing director of Nissan Motor India, said the company is here to stay and aims to expand both its portfolio and presence in India. "Nissan is not going anywhere. We are staying in India," Vatsa asserted. He addressed concerns arising from Nissan's recent divestment in its manufacturing joint venture with Renault, saying, "I must put to rest any speculation that we are exiting India just on the basis of our divestment in Renault Nissan Automotive India (RNAIPL). These rumours trouble customers and employees—directly and indirectly."
