In response to growing demand, Nissan India has recently added a third shift at its Chennai manufacturing facility, creating 600 new jobs.

Despite Nissan announcing a global reduction of 9,000 jobs and a 20% cut in production, the company’s Indian operations are expected to remain unaffected, as long as it remains competitive in the market.

Last month, Nissan and Honda initiated merger talks, with plans to complete the deal by August 2026 and list a joint parent on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

The companies have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to explore a business integration through the creation of a joint holding company.
