! In early 2010 Bridgestone announced that it was investing $36.7m to add capacity for radialtruck and bus tires. The new production should come on stream in the first half of 2011, gearing up tofull capacity of 400 units a day by the second half of 2012. The project will create about 190 jobs ontop of the 970-current employees.It will require expanding the size of the plant, which stands at 7.1million square feet.

! In addition, the company has decided to build a new plant at Chakan, near Pune, Maharashtra,at a cost of $540m. PSR (passenger car radial) production is scheduled to begin in January 2013 andTBR production (truck and bus radial) is scheduled to begin the following August. By the end of 2020,

production capacity is expected to reach approximately 10,000 units per day for PSR and 3,000 unitsper day for TBR. Bridgestone has secured a 190 acre plot in Pune, about 170 kms south east ofMumbai.

Additional notesOriginally established in 1993, this was a 50:50 JV between Goodyear and Ceat Tyre, a subsidiary ofRPG. In 1998, Goodyear bought out its partner and then decided to offer 26% of the company to

Indian investors. In February 2010, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. initiated a voluntary delisting of theequity shares of Goodyear India from the Bombay Stock Exchange, in effect, taking the companyback into 100% ownership.

Additional notesGoodyear India is aiming to boost the combined annual capacity of both plants by 15 per cent to 4million tires a year, according to various online news sources. The news follows the launch of theGoodyear DuraPlus in the country, a tire aimed at small family hatchbacks that account for the largestsegment in the Indian car market. Goodyear India reportedly wants to target the replacement marketwith the new tire.

Additional notes! Michelin has been interested in manufacturing in India for several years but only formallyannounced its plans in November 2009, after it had arranged to sell its minority 10% holding in ApolloTyres. Only outline details have been released, probably because plans are still flexible. However,rumours and speculation had been published in the Indian press for two years before that.Development will be in several phases with the first phase entering production in 2012 and reachingcompletion in 2016. Investment will be about $1 billion over 10 years and a total 1127 acres has beensecured for the plant although only 290 acres will be built on initially.

The company also owns 103 acres of land at Rajangaon, near Pune, Maharashtra. There has beenspeculation in the local press that this land could be used for a second facility in India to make cartires. Michelin has refused to confirm this but, in any case, it is unlikely to commission a secondfactory before the first has opened.

This plant was commenced in 2008 on a 135 acre site at a budget cost of 22 billion rupees.Initially it was planned to produce 8,000 car tires and 3,000 truck tires each day and to design thefactory in a flexible manner to allow production to be tripled in future. In the event, radialisation in theIndian truck tire market has happened much quicker than forecast so Apollo merged some expansionphases to double the initial capacity for truck tires.

! It is now, after its opening in March 2010, potentially Apollos largest plant. It is intended to bethe main hub for the companys R&D activity.

! J.K.Tyre! http://www.jktyre.com/! JK Tyre has the capacity to produce 9.2 million tires annually from its five Indian plants but itintends to raise this to 9.8 million over the next three or four years with an investment of Rps8 billion($171 mill.)

Investment for this would be about Rps4 billion ($85mill) and initial production capacity would beabout 2.5 million passenger tires per year and 400,000 truck tires. If a suitable site is confirmed itwould come on stream in early 2012.

! Modi Rubber! http://www.mtcpl.in/! ! Modi Rubber, part of the V K Modi Group, http://www.modigroup.net/, closed its plantsin Uttar Pradesh in 2001 following a strike by workers when management proposed to link wageswith productivity, but there had been a long history of labour disputes and litigation. The plants wereonly re-opened in 2009 after an investment of Rps 3 billion and the re-establishment of a technicalagreement with Continental. Initially the company will produce around 1 million Continental-branded cross-plytruck tyres for the Indian market. The Continental bias tyres will be distributed via a revived Modi sales network. Thecollaboration between Continental and Modi dates back to 1974 when an extensive technicalcooperation was agreed on for the set-up of a new Modi tyre plant in Modipuram. However,

Continental also has agreements with JK Tyre and Metro Tyres.
