Indian Tyre Production up 18 per cent
The latest ATMA figures show that during the month of July Indian tyre production rose 18 per cent year-on-year to 6.354 million units. This follows a 19 per cent year-on-year growth in production during June (06/2005: 5.19 million units; 06/2006: 6.187 million). The latest increase was fuelled by sharp rises in passenger car and tractor tyre production. Passenger car tyre production reached 1.28 million units in July, up 16 per cent compared with the same time last year.
