Its current Indian line is six models, three produced locally and three imported. The carmaker already sells the X-Trail shipped in from Japan but has decided to add a low-cost product to tap the local popularity of SUVs. It will rebadge the newly redesigned Renault Duster manufactured at the alliance plant in Chennai.
Nissan also plans to release a low-cost hatchback under the Datsun emerging-market brand next year.
