Renault-Nissan alliance on Tuesday announced that they would hike the output of its Chennai plant by introducing a third shift to meet current demands and also prepare for their upcoming cars in the country.
"From this week, the plant will operate a new night shift on one of its two production lines, which will effectively increase overall annual capacity," Renault Nissan Automotive India Private Ltd (RNAIPL) said in a statement.
Currently, the Chennai plant has a capacity to about 4.8 lakh units per year at full and it will also continue to produce the export demand around the world like Nissan Sunny and Nissan Micra.
The company feels this will help to produce more vehicles so as to meet the growing demand for their recently launched Renault Kwid and also in order to prepare for Datsun's upcoming model in the next few months.
Till date a total of 12 all-new Nissan, Renault and Datsun models have been introduced to its two production lines catering for both domestic and international markets.
The facility crossed the one million unit production milestone in January this year with over 6 lakh units exported to 106 countries.
