Tyre company BKT inaugurated their new plant in India. The plant is located in Bhuj in the State of Gujarat at a distance of about hundred km from the Pakistani border and 60 km from the Port of Mundra on the Arabian Sea.
The US$500-million project is a self-contained production plant representing the state of the art for both industrial equipment and infrastructures and facilities for employees.
After the start of construction works in January 2011, an eight-km-long pipeline for drinking water as well as thirteen kilometers of electricity lines were laid in the area where there were originally no such utilities. The first tyre rolled off the production lines in March 2012, even if the entire project will be completed by the end of 2016.
