Yokohama to Invest $100 Million in India to Expand Tyre Production Capacity
Japanese tyre maker Yokohama plans to invest approximately USD 100 million in India over the next 1-3 years to expand production capacity from 4.5 million to 6.3 million tyres annually. This move aims to meet rising demand for SUV tyres, especially in tier three and four markets, following increased passenger car sales after GST reforms. Yokohama recently launched a premium tyre range, GEOLANDAR X-CV, and currently operates two manufacturing plants in Haryana and Andhra Pradesh.
