Apollo Tyres is likely to increase production capacity in the country by over
50 per cent.
The total capacity is likely to go up to around 1,600 tpd once the Chennai
plant reaches terminal capacity by March 2010. The proposed plant is likely to
go on stream by early December 2009. It will have an installed capacity of 400
tpd, which will translate into 14,000 units of radial tyres, including 8,000
units of passenger car and 6,000 units of truck and bus radials.
The company has a total production capacity of about 950-1,000 tpd in its
three plants in Gujarat and Kerala.
