Nissan is grappling with a severe financial crisis, with top company executives indicating that the automaker has “12 to 14 months to survive” unless major changes are made.
NEW DELHI: Nissan is grappling with a severe financial crisis, with top company executives indicating that the automaker has “12 to 14 months to survive” unless major changes are made. This stark warning comes after Nissan recently undertook drastic measures to stabilize its operations. The company has cut over 9,000 jobs and reduced production by nearly 20%, in an effort to cope with dwindling revenues and mounting expenses. These decisions were prompted by a sharp decline in Nissan’s financial performance, with its operating profit plummeting by an alarming 85% in the third quarter of the year.

The automaker’s dire situation is a reflection of broader challenges facing the global automotive industry, including rising costs of raw materials, supply chain disruptions, and the intense competition in the electric vehicle (EV) market. The pressure is particularly high for traditional manufacturers like Nissan, which are striving to adapt to an industry increasingly dominated by EV technology and stricter environmental regulations.

In the face of these challenges, Nissan has been focusing on restructuring efforts that include job cuts and production slowdowns. While these moves are intended to streamline operations and reduce financial strain, questions remain about their sufficiency in securing the company’s long-term survival. Analysts have raised concerns that, despite these measures, Nissan may still be on a path toward a potentially unsustainable business model.
Nissan’s current predicament also poses questions for its global workforce and stakeholders, many of whom are keenly observing how the company will navigate the next phase. The job losses not only impact employees but also ripple through the supply chain, affecting multiple industries and communities.

The company is expected to push forward with strategies aimed at cost-cutting and shifting its focus toward more profitable segments. However, whether these strategies will be enough to weather the storm remains uncertain. The coming months will be crucial for Nissan as it attempts to chart a course out of financial turmoil and adapt to a rapidly evolving automotive landscape.
