This project is likely to cost Rs 25-50 crore per year. It will utiliSe part of the proceeds of their 10 million dollars worth of external commercial borrowings to enhance radial capacity in its Nashik plant from 40,000 tyres to 1,00,000 tyres per month in two phases.

The enhancement will largely be in passenger car and utility vehicle radials and also some OTR sizes, a statement said.
