He said the company will be launching its new global compact car A-Star in India by October this year and will start exports of the same by December-January.
'We will launch Splash in India next year,' Nakanishi said.
He said the company is hopeful of good sales during the festive season, but added that margins are under pressure due to rising input costs.
