Ceat has expanded its production capabilities with the addition of a new truck and bus radial (TBR) tyre manufacturing line at its Chennai plant. This new line will eventually reach a capacity of producing 1,500 tyres per day over the next year. It is part of Ceat’s broader strategy to cater to the growing demand for high-performance tyres in both domestic and international markets, including Europe and the United States.
The company, which already produces radial tyres for passenger cars and motorcycles, is further positioning itself as a key player in the global tyre market. The Chennai facility, which is focused on exports, is set to play a pivotal role in this strategy by enhancing Ceat’s ability to meet the evolving requirements of its international clients.
As part of the company’s continued efforts to expand its global footprint, this new TBR line incorporates advanced manufacturing technologies and prioritizes sustainability. Presently, a significant portion of the plant’s energy requirements is met through renewable sources, with plans to increase this share in the near future.
This latest development underscores Ceat’s commitment to providing innovative, high-performance tyre solutions that meet international safety and performance standards, further strengthening its position in key global markets.
