(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) Nissan Motor India is locked in a faceoff with its dealers because of which Nissan dealerships are learnt to have stopped taking supplies of vehicles in the last one week.
The dispute is over the issue of Nissan's master franchisee Hover Automotive India (HAI), The Times of India (TOI) newspaper reported Tuesday.
The confrontation led to Nissan dealers forming a separate forum - Nissan Dealer Forum - and opening communications with Nissan Motor Japan, independent of HAI. Sources told TOI that the Nissan India management has now initiated discussions with its dealers on the issue and will likely address their concerns at a conference on October 30 in Chennai.
A Nissan India spokesman skirted the dispute and told TOI in an email reply, "Nissan entered the Indian market in 2005 and, since then, we have been working in close partnership with HAI to swiftly and successfully expand our business.
Annual sales have tripled; we have launched five all-new models including the locally-produced Micra, Sunny and Evalia; and our dealership network has expanded rapidly to cover nearly 70% of the market."
