As part of the expansion, CEAT is investing in advanced technology and automation to ensure the plant operates with maximum efficiency while adhering to high standards of quality control. This will not only improve production rates but also reduce operational costs, enhancing overall profitability. The Chennai plant’s focus on radial tyres for both passenger cars and commercial vehicles makes it a vital hub in CEAT's production network.

CEAT's decision to expand the Chennai plant comes at a time when the Indian automotive industry is witnessing a surge in demand for vehicles, which in turn drives the need for reliable and durable tyres. The plant's enhanced output capacity will support CEAT’s broader strategy to strengthen its market presence and meet the evolving needs of automobile manufacturers and consumers.

This development marks a significant milestone in CEAT’s growth trajectory, reinforcing its position as a leading player in the tyre manufacturing sector.
