Toyota Kirloskar Motor Ramps-up third shift operations

In line with its customer-centric approach and commitment to meeting the evolving market needs, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM), has announced the commencement of three-shift operations at  its manufacturing facility in Bidadi from the month of May, 2023 backed by the rising demand for its existing portfolio of products and its new launches in 2022.

Three shift operations are set to boost the plant’s production output by over 30% and meet strong booking numbers. Additionally, Toyota Technical Training Institute (TTTI) will increase its intake from 200 to 1,200 students. Last year, TKM also undertook a major expansion of TTTI with capacity going up from 200 to 1,200 students. TKM currently has a 6000-member strong team, including production and non-production staff. TKM has focused on maximizing plant efficiency and embracing cutting-edge technologies, such as the e-Drive manufacturing line at TKAP. Toyota Environmental Challenge (TEC) 2050 has been inspired by sustainability and is committed to a greener future.

 Toyota has adopted various environmental risk mitigating measures, such as the Plant Zero CO2 Emissions Challenge, to achieve zero CO2 emissions at their manufacturing facilities. Additionally, the adoption of alternative renewable energy sources has been a significant step towards energy management. Mr. Sudeep Dalvi, SVP & Chief Communication Officer, Toyota Kirloskar Motor said, “Together, we strive to deliver Mass Happiness to All”.
