Franchise News India<\/a><\/strong>, Franchise News<\/a><\/strong>,GURGAON,India<\/a><\/strong> ,Apollo Tyres Ltd. is launching a retreading franchise<\/a><\/strong> initiative in India, with plans to open up to 20 \u201cApollo Retread Zone\u201d (ARZ) plants there during the current fiscal year.<\/p>\n

Apollo did not disclose its budgeted investment nor sales expectations for the initiative, which it launched last year with the opening of retread plants in Jaipur<\/a><\/strong> and Chennai<\/a><\/strong>. The third Apollo Retread Zone, in Mumbai<\/a><\/strong>, opened recently to service customers in western India.<\/p>\n

Apollo<\/strong> said the objective of the initiative is to provide quality retreading service to truck-bus customers and fleet owners. As such these branded outlets are equipped with advanced retreading equipment, high quality tread material and trained workers.<\/p>\n

Apollo did not say whether the plants use a mold-cure or precure process, nor did it identify which brand equipment it\u2019s specifying.<\/p>\n

Satish Sharma, president, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa for Apollo, said the increase in usage of radial tires in the truck-bus segment has increased the potential for retreading, and thereby the need for quality retreading outlets to service customers.<\/p>\n

Radial truck\/bus tires are capable of multiple retreads due to the strong carcass, Apollo said, with each retread costing only 25 to 27 percent of the cost of a new tire while providing nearly 90 percent of the mileage of a new tire.<\/p>\n

Mr. Sharma said the tire maker is \u201ccommitted to providing a 360-degree solution to our customers, which very much includes retreading as well, to enhance the tire life of the end-user.\u201d<\/p>\n

The targeted size of an ARZ retread plant is 3,000 square feet, Apollo said, with a capacity of 20 to 25 tires a day and eight to 10 employees.
