Toyota Motor Corporation is set to enhance its manufacturing capabilities in India by constructing three new vehicle assembly plants in Maharashtra. This strategic move aims to triple Toyota's production capacity in the country to 1 million units by the 2030s, supported by an estimated investment of 300 billion yen ($1.9 billion). Currently, Toyota operates three plants in southern India, primarily catering to the domestic market. With the new facilities, the total number of Toyota plants in India will rise to six, further solidifying the country as a crucial manufacturing hub in the face of stagnating markets in the United States and China. The expansion also aligns with Toyota's commitment to producing environmentally friendly vehicles, including plug-in hybrids. This development reflects the growing importance of the Indian automotive market, as highlighted by significant investments from other automakers like Honda and Suzuki.
