“We will take a decision on how to free up capacity at Plant-1,” added Raja.įurther, the new Rs 800-crore diesel engine factory, making for both Innova and the Fortuner, will come on stream by early next year. While Fortuner takes up 1,300 units every month of manufacturing space, the balance of 6,000-7,000 units is taken by the Innova. The company is discussing ways to increase production of the Fortuner without increasing the overall capacity of Plant-1. Raja says about 55 per cent of Plant-2 is under utilisation. TKM’s Plant-2, with annual capacity of 255,000 units, makes the Etios, Etios Liva, Etios Cross, Corolla, Camry and Camry Hybrid. We cannot increase the capacity and also cannot shift production of the Fortuner or Innova to Plant-2,” added Raja. “The Innova and Fortuner are utilising 95 per cent of the capacity of Plant-1, whose capacity is 100,000 units a year. Despite their high price, both face high demand, with the company struggling to keep pace.
The Fortuner and Innova, also India's largest selling premium multi-utility vehicle, are produced at the same plant. The Bengaluru-based company also facing challenges on the vehicle’s capacity. The company is keen to raise localisation content in the Fortuner, top selling SUV in its segment.
