Toyota Kirloskar adds 1 lakh-unit third Bidadi plant from early 2027 to cut waiting periods

Our read

Toyota Kirloskar is adding a third Bidadi plant with 1 lakh units a year from early 2027, on top of 3.42 lakh across two plants, so dealers should expect shorter waiting periods and more stock, while a price hike on the Rs 6.99 lakh Glanza facelift depends on raw material costs.

Watch

Third Bidadi plant output starting past early 2027 would mean Toyota's waiting periods stay long and rivals keep room to win delayed buyers.
