The company, which brought back Datsun in 2014 after three decades, has already launched two models under the brand, but with moderate success. The third model, redi-Go priced between Rs 2.5-3.5 lakh is slated to hit the Indian market from June.
"We started (Datsun) two years ago... That's not such a long time. I think, to be clear today, Datsun is very successful in Indonesia, moderately successful in India," Nissan Chief Executive and President Carlos Ghosn told reporters at a press conference.
Ghosn further said: "In India, we are eager to launch redi-Go and see what is the potential of the brand."
The redi-Go will compete with the likes of Maruti Suzuki Alto and Hyundai's Eon, which are priced between Rs 2.5 lakh and Rs 4.42 lakh (ex-showroom price Delhi).

Commenting on Datsun's third market Russia, where it has failed to click, Ghosn said that for the moment, it is a "debacle for all carmakers".
"I don't think any carmaker can say we are doing good in Russia (now)," he said.
Reflecting on the comeback journey of Datsun, Ghosn said it has been a very asymmetrical one.
"In Russia, they are disappointing, but everything is disappointing in the Russian market today. In India, we are eager to launch redi-Go and see what is the potential of the brand. In Indonesia, we are doing very well."
The company has halved its market share target in India to 5 per cent by 2020, for which it will launch one new model each year.
