Automobile manufacturer Nissan Motors aims to create over 3,000 jobs in IT and ITES sector within three years at its digital innovation hub titled ‘Nissan Digital’ which will come up at Technocity in Kerala. 

Nissan Motors will sign a formal memorandum of understanding with the state government on Friday on the project and it may commence operations this year itself.

It would set up its own campus, Nissan Knowledge City, in 30 acres of special economic zone notified area in Technocity. Another 40 acres of adjacent SEZ land has also been earmarked for future expansion. 

Nissan proposes to develop the area as an electric vehicle and automated vehicle campus. The state government would set up electric vehicles charging station and also offer import duty exemptions. As per reports, Nissan had already commenced hiring for its upcoming centre. The Nissan Motor has advertised on LinkedIn for user interface engineers, product owners and head of data sciences for the proposed facility.

The move is expected to give a major impetus to the state in the global IT map. The state government also assured that a representative of Nissan would be included in the committee formulating an electric vehicle policy of the state. 

Hrishikesh Nair, CEO, Technopark, stated that the State government’s vision of creating a hub of emerging technologies will be enabled through this Knowledge City.
