Construction on the project will begin in the third quarter of 2020, and the plant will become operational in the first quarter of 2023.

Currently, ATG has two tyre plants in India – the Dahej Plant in Gujarat and the Tirunelveli Plant in Tamil Nadu.

The plants manufacture all three of the company’s core off-highway tyre brands – Alliance, Galaxy and Primex brands.

In February 2018, Yokohama Rubber announced an expansion project at Dahej Plant to boost production capacity. When completed, the capacity of the plant has been increased 1.6-fold.

Yokohama believes that that new facility in Visakhapatnam will expand the group’s global off-highway tyre production network to eight plants in four nations. This includes three plants in India, one plant in Israel, one plant in Vietnam, and three plants in Japan.
