Estimated to have cost in the region of €56m, BKT has begun trial production at its latest site located in Walju, Maharashtra, a western state of India.
The plant is said to increase the tyre manufacturer’s annual production capacity of off-highway tyres by an additional 30,000t.
Once fully up and running, it is estimated that around 500 people will be employed aiding in the manufacturer of BKT’s medium- and small-diameter agricultural and industrial tyres.
