Datsun brand will continue in India

According to a media report, Nissan will continue selling Datsun cars in India, even as the brand is being slowly phased out in other parts of the world.

The report also suggests that production of the Datsun compact car will be stopped in Indonesia and Russia from next year. Datsun sales dropped by 10% in 2018 to about 72,000 units. In 2018, sales in Russia were down by about 20% compared to the previous year. With around 20,000 units sold, sales were down 40% compared to 2015.

In October 2019, there were unconfirmed reports that Datsun was planning to discontinue unprofitable models and shutting down underutilized production lines after its parent company Nissan posted its lowest operating profit in 11 year.
