Nissan Motor explores Gigafactory for EVs in India; may make for world market

Japanese automaker Nissan Motor is exploring the manufacturing of electric vehicles in India, including the setting up of a ‘gigafactory’ for the mass production of batteries.

The company had commissioned a study about three months ago, chief operating officer Ashwani Gupta told a group of Indian reporters. The study is likely to be concluded within a year, and if it gives the green flag, then electric vehicles will be made in India for the local as well as global markets, he said.
