Work on Yokohama’s Vizag plant begins

Yokohama Off Highway Tires (YOHT), the consolidated off-the-road business division of the Yokohama Rubber Co Ltd of Japan, has started work on the Rs 1,200 crore greenfield plant at Atchutapuram Industrial Area near Visakhapatnam.

The new plant at Atchutapuram, which is being developed on an 80-acre site, will have a daily production capacity of 55 tonne (rubber weight) with a planned capital investment of $165 million and is scheduled to come up in the first quarter of 2023 with trials in the second half of 2022.

Yokohama considers India a manufacturing base due to low manufacturing costs and the country's facilities. India contributed more than 80-85% of last year's volumes and exported to more than 100 countries worldwide. According to Yokohama, most of its exports are produced from the India base.
