With the stringent BS6 emissions regulations coming into effect last month, Nissan India has decided to trim down its product portfolio for the Indian market. The Japanese auto manufacturer has silently removed the Nissan Micra, Micra Active and Sunny from its official Indian website. Currently, the BS6 Kicks and GT-R are the only two cars listed now. The carmaker has discontinued these cars because they won't be going through the BS6 transition. A spokesperson from Nissan India confirmed this decision. Poor sales and high investment to comply with BS6 emission norms are likely to be some of the reasons for these vehicles to be discontinued in the country.
