Since the commissioning of the Oragadam manufacturing facility near Chennai by the Renault-Nissan alliance one lakh engines have been produced at the same facility. The facility is used by both Renault and Nissan and is also used for exporting engines to other parts of the world apart from making them for the cars that Nissan and Renault manufacture in India. The Nissan Micra has been in India for a while now but the volumes of the engines are not all in the domestic market but also for the export market as well.
