Chennai, May 29 MRF’s Arakonam unit, which was under lock-out between May 17 and 27, expects to reach full capacity of production “within a couple of days,” according to a press release from the company.

This is good news for two-wheeler manufacturers such as Hero Honda and passenger car manufacturers such as Maruti, tyres for which are produced at the unit.

After the lock-out was lifted “an overwhelming” number of workmen reported for work, “in spite of a small dissident group trying to prevent them from joining,” says the release.

“The workmen are quite upbeat about the settlement recent signed by the management with the recognised union of MRF Arakonam, as they stand to gain substantially,” it says.
