Micra may also be launched in the diesel variantWhile years after Nissan has decided to take on the Indian market in a big way, but experts believe that it still not too late to enter the Indian automotive circuit for the Japanese automaker. In fact, the company is planning to launch its hatchback Micra in the Indian market in the following months that is expected to change the fortunes of the automaker in the domestic market.

Moreover, the company believes that it may launch a diesel variant also following the launch of the petrol version depending on the consumer response to the product.

It is believed that Nissan will make a lot of noise in the Indian hatchback market as it launches the much-popular Micra in the already running under intense competition small car segment. Moreover, it may be noted here that the company is developing an ultra low cost car in alliance with Bajaj that is well slated to be launched in the Indian market by 2012.

The company has already started it test exports to destinations like Barcelona and has bullish plans for exports of Micra from the Indian market.
