Japanese automaker Nissan is planning a fresh push to revive its India business with a new product lineup and a wider sales network, as it works to improve volumes and market share in the country.

The company said it will introduce three new models in India over the next 14-16 months, with the first launch expected as early as the first quarter of the coming year. Nissan also announced plans to expand its dealership network from the current 155 outlets to 250 by the end of FY27.

As part of its product roadmap, Nissan will launch the Gravite, a new seven-seater MPV, in early 2026. This will be followed by the Tekton, a midsize SUV slated for mid-2026, and another seven-seater SUV scheduled for launch in early 2027. On Thursday, Nissan officially revealed the name of the upcoming Gravite model.

Massimiliano Messina, Chairperson for Nissan’s Africa, Middle East, India, Europe, and Oceania region, said India continues to play a critical role in the company’s global strategy. He noted that Nissan is developing products specifically for Indian customers while also using the country as a base for exports to multiple international markets.

Currently, Nissan sells only one model in India, the Magnite. The SUV is exported to 65 global markets, including South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, reinforcing India’s role as a key manufacturing and export hub for the brand.
