NEW DELHI: Nissan Motor Co will soon offer a line-up of nine vehicles in India including five built locally as it aims to catch up with rivals in the fast-growing market, the head of its Indian operations said.

"I'm often asked whether Nissan has taken too much time to enter India," Nissan Motor India CEO Kiminobu Tokuyama told Reuters at the Delhi auto show, where Nissan is not an official exhibitor.

"And I always say: It's not too late."
