Maxxis rolls out first shipment of 2-wheeler tyres for Honda

Maxxis India inaugurated its first production facility at Sanand, Gujarat in March 2018. Now, the first shipment of 2-wheeler tyres has rolled out of the factory, which will be supplied to Honda.

The Gujarat plant produces 2-wheeler tyres for the Honda Activa 5G, Activa i and Dio. It has a production capacity of around 20,000 tyres and 40,000 tubes per day. The first tyre model (90/100-10 M6000) is manufactured locally using raw materials sourced from the local market.

Maxxis aims to supply 1 million tyres to OEM partners by 2023 and is targeting to capture at least 15% market share in India's 2-wheeler segment by this time. The company is also planning to export locally manufactured tyres to South Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Further, it aims to setup 5 more plants in India and produce 4-wheeler tyre as well.
