Ghandhara Nissan has officially announced its entry in Pakistan with the manufacturing and licensing to locally produce not one or two but three Datsun models.
This new move is the automotive giant’s strategy to emerge in the Pakistan local auto market as one of the new yet dominating players. This way, the brand will be able to meet with customer demands and stay on top with trends as well.
Ghandhara Nissan’s Project Director and Senior Executive Director of Marketing and Sales Muazzam Pervez Khan shared that the commercial production of all three models will start in mid-2020.
