New Delhi: Japanese tyre maker Yokohama is betting on local production in India for a “sustainable and competitive” business model in the country, according to a top company official.
Yokohama Rubber company, which is present in the country through a wholly-owned subsidiary, is coming up with a new plant in Visakhapatnam in addition to its existing plant in Bahadurgarh, Haryana. In an interaction with PTI, Yokohama India Managing Director and CEO Harinder Singh said the company can manufacture tyres of up to 18 inches in diameter within the country and has plans to extend this capability to accommodate tyre sizes of up to 22 inches, to cater to the demand for bigger-sized tyres.
