Nissan India Records 147% Domestic Wholesale Growth, Begins TEKTON Exports

Nissan Motor India dispatches the first batch of more than 1,300 TEKTON units to South Africa, Bhutan and Nepal

Nissan Motor India Pvt. Ltd. (NMIPL) announced total wholesale of 9,350 units in August 2026, comprising 3,426 units in the domestic market and 5,924 units exported to international markets.

Domestic wholesale performance was supported by continued demand for the Magnite and Gravite, along with the market response to the all-new Nissan TEKTON. The company recorded a 147% year-on-year increase in domestic wholesale.

TEKTON Exports Begin

Nissan has commenced exports of the TEKTON as part of its “One Car. One World.” strategy. The company dispatched the first batch of more than 1,300 units to South Africa, Bhutan and Nepal.

The start of exports to these markets marks the first phase of TEKTON’s international journey. Manufactured in India, the SUV is expected to progressively reach customers in markets across regions, supporting Nissan’s international operations from India.

Nissan’s “One Car. One World.” strategy focuses on manufacturing vehicles in India to consistent Nissan standards while offering them to customers across domestic and international markets.

The beginning of exports to Nepal and Bhutan also expands the SUV’s presence in neighbouring markets. Together with the South Africa launch, these introductions support Nissan’s plans to build scale across domestic and export markets from India.
