5)      New BKT Mould plant was inaugurated in October at a new location in Dombivali, near Mumbai. We have almost doubled the capacity to produce high quality moulds, offering better finish, with the help of state-of-the-art machines.  This  would  be  of  great  importance  for  the  rolling  our  tyres  from  the  new  Bhuj  plant,  sin ce  timely  mould  availability is a major step in this process.

6)      While most of the majo r machinery for the new tyre plant at Bhuj is already into the commissioning mode, I am pleased to inform you that a part of the p lant has already started with Tube production from December onwards. Full range of tubes going to be available for various off- highways tires. 

As shared with you in the past years, the vision of BKT is to become a glob al leader in Off- Highway Tyre Solutions with a 10% market share.  I  am  happy  to  inform  you  that,  with  the  current growth momentum experienced at our end, thanks to your continuous  support, we are  targeting to pre-pone the achiev ement of this vision from originally 2015, to 2014! 

Aligning ourselves with the revised target, for the year 2012, we have initiated an aggressive   growth plan.  The production is targeted to increase by 32%.  This would be achieved by upgraded capacities in the existing 3 plants as well as partial contribution from the Bhuj plant (New plant).  We are targeting t hat in 2^nd half of this year, Bhuj plant would c ontribute around 20% of the total production for 2012. With the relentless work done by our  project team, we  are  targeting  to  pre-pone  commercial  production  of  Bhuj  plant  by  at  least  a  quarter.  Once   completely commissioned, this nnew plant shall almost double the capacity at B KT.

 Working constantly on our philo sophy of togetherness, we have also devised a unique training program. This programme aims at reaching out to the different levels & pockets of audience associated with BKT brand and to impart them need based training module s. Our teams are already in touch with your organization and we expect full participation as well as cooperation from your side for this mutually beneficial effort.
