Haryana Cold Retread to Double Plant Capacity
Delhi, consumes between 10 and 15 tonnes of tread rubber per month depending on the requirement. The unit commenced operation in 1992 and retreads around 1,500 truck and bus tyres per month by the cold process. Interestingly, he further added, “Private fleet owners get their tyres retreaded when their cash flow condition tightens, otherwise, they buy new tyres.” The price of a truck radial on average is around
INR 22,000 and bias ply costs around 17,000, whereas, on average retreaded truck tyres come in at around INR 5,000. Despite this, the firm says it is coping with a lot of unfair competition from low cost operators, in addition to a slowdown in the market, which has lasted almost three years. “Due to the slowdown there is a cash flow problem in the market,” says Yadav. “We hope the new government will take on pending economic initiatives
and boost the market. New projects would definitely give a boost to our sales and we are expanding with an eye on future projects for the next few years.”
Narender Yadav, Haryana Cold Retread (P) Ltd
After crossing the millennium city of Gurgaon, a road cuts off to the left towards Sohna in the neighbouring state of Haryana, where the precure retreading plant belonging to Haryana Cold Retread is expanding, and planning to double plant capacity in the next few months. “We are modernising the existing plant, installing a monorail system and two new eight tyre chambers,” said Narender Yadav, Managing Director, Haryana Cold Retread (P) Ltd. The plant, which already has two 11 tyre chambers, runs on Indag equipment and also uses Indag precured tread rubber.
“With the installation of the new equipment, the plant capacity will be doubled to around 4,000 tyres per month,” Yadav informed. Currently, the expansion work is on and it is likely to be completed by the end of October.
Commenting on the reasons for the company’s ongoing expansion, Yadav said; “Two more chambers would deal with the peak season rush.” The company is expanding the plant with an eye on various infrastructural projects announced by the government. The new projects would involve lots of trucking activity in the area in the near future. “The government is improving highways and has announced a metro rail expansion project to Bawal (Haryana). The projects will most likely give a major boost to the regional economy,” Yadav added.
Currently, the Sohna plant, which is about 40 kms from
