The first car was launched by State Industries Minister P Thangamani in the presence of top officials from the company, including Nissan Motor Vice-Chairman Toshiyuki Shiga, Corporate Vice-President and Global Head-Datsun Vincent Cobee and Consul General of Japan Masanari Nakano.
"We will introduce three variants of Datsun GO. The top variant will be under Rs 4 lakh (price bracket)...," Cobee told reporters after rolling out the first car from the assembly line of Oragadam plant.
Stating that the emergence of the middle class was one of the reasons for reviving the Datsun brand in India, Cobee said, "Datsun was actually developed in Japan. In the early 80s it was terminated. But we are launching it in India as the average transaction cost of middle class in India is USD 8,000."
