Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has commenced three-shift operations at its manufacturing facility in Bidadi from May, 2023. The move comes at the back of rising demand for its existing portfolio of products and new launches.
With the three-shift operations, Toyota claims that the plant’s production output will boost by over 30 per cent, thus enabling the brand to meet the strong booking numbers for its entire range of products sold in India. The announcement also means that the company will be generating additional employment of close to 25 per cent, including the increased intake from Toyota Technical Training Institute (TTTI).
Commenting on the occasion, Sudeep Dalvi, SVP and Chief Communication Officer, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, said, “We are extremely thrilled to see the market responding very positively to our entire product line-up.
