TVS Srichakra Limited has approved a capital investment of up to ₹220 crore to expand production capacity at its manufacturing units located in Vellaripatti, Madurai. The decision, taken by the Board of Directors on May 27, 2026, aims to address growing demand for the company's 2/3-wheeler and off-highway tyres. The expansion project will be financed through a combination of internal accruals and debt.
The investment is divided equally between the two-wheeler (2W) plant and the off-highway tyre plant, with an allocation of up to ₹110 crore for each facility. The 2W plant currently operates at a capacity utilization of about 80-85%, producing approximately 210 to 235 lakh tyres per annum. The proposed expansion will add about 5% to this capacity, targeted for completion in the first half of FY 2028-29.
The off-highway tyre plant, which currently produces approximately 75 to 85 metric tons per annum at a utilization rate of about 75 to 80%, will see a larger relative increase. The company plans to add about 25% to this capacity, with the new capacity expected to come online in the first half of FY 2027-28.
