Japanese automaker Toyota Motor has announced plans to build a new vehicle manufacturing plant in the Bidkin Industrial Area in Maharashtra, India.
Production is scheduled to start in the first half of 2029
The site will operate under Toyota Kirloskar Motor and is set to have an annual production capacity of 100,000 vehicles. It is also expected to employ about 2,800 people. Manufacturing at the plant will cover stamping, welding, painting and assembly.
The facility is intended to manufacture a new sport utility vehicle (SUV) model. Toyota said the plant will be set up to supply vehicles to customers in India and nearby regions, with the aim of supporting a flexible response to demand growth and market changes. The company described the move as part of its longstanding business presence in India and acknowledged the contribution of local partners and pioneers to its operations in the country.
