Gujarat Chosen as Site for New Ceat Radial Plant

India’s Ceat Ltd has chosen the state of Gujarat for the location of its long anticipated greenfield radial facility. The RS 5 to 6 billion (£60 to 70 million) plant was first announced over a year ago and several locations throughout India were short listed as possible sites – the company reportedly selecting Gujarat for its infrastructure, proximity to a port and ‘work culture.’ In addition to the production of passenger car tyres, the facility will also be home to a pilot facility for the manufacture of 250,000 TBR tyres per annum.
