Dunlop plant after 3 years of idleness reopened in Indian Sahaganj
In a small town located in West Bengal, Dunlop tire production is set to resume this year after a hiatus of more than three years. The plant, which has been closed since 2011, has been idle all this time. However, today the state government and company management are optimistic about the future, planning a phased restoration of production.
The news of the plant's opening came just before a local religious holiday and was a cause for immense joy for hundreds of ordinary people. Given that the standard of living in India is quite low, the emergence of new jobs is highly valued.
In essence, this agreement is a major achievement of the state government with the leadership of Dunlop. According to the country's labor minister, the restoration work will take from 18 to 19 months. It will involve 555 workers already hired by the company. Before the holiday, they received 5,000 rupees, which, of course, greatly encouraged them.
At the ceremony to restart production, a representative of the ministry noted that workers and leaders must work in harmony to revive production as soon as possible. The main thing is to avoid problems with equipment shortages and bypass technological problems when setting up the tire production lines. And then it will be possible to launch tire production on schedule.
