    Nissan produces Micras in India for domestic buyers and for export (eg. Australia gets its Micras from there).

    And apparently it's the most popular model:

    Nissan’s Micra was India’s biggest model exported in 2014-15 with 76,120 units sold, followed by the Hyundai Grand i10 [an A-class car we don't get] with 63,585 units and the Volkswagen Vento [essentially a Polo sedan] with 56,064 units sold.

    ...

    Overall, India exported 622,470 vehicles (casrs, UVs and vans), an increase of 4.42 percent over 2013-14.

    If you look at the picture, that looks like a Datsun Go coming off the line behind the Micra.
