"This is only the beginning. Following the sales launch of Datsun Go in March, we plan to expand the product range. Datsun will account for 50 per cent of sales for Nissan Motor Corporation in India," he said.
Thangamani congratulated Nissan for the launch of the car and said the government would extend all support to the auto-maker.
The Oragadam plant, which is located around 50 kms from Chennai, is a joint venture between Nissan and France-based automaker Renault. Both the companies have invested about Rs 4,400 crore.
