Satrac Opens ₹250 Crore Truck and Trailer Manufacturing Plant Near Chennai.

Satrac Engineering Pvt Ltd, the Bengaluru-based trailer and truck body manufacturer, on Wednesday inaugurated its new manufacturing facility at Sriperumbudur near Chennai.

Backed by Japanese firm Kyokuto Kaihatsu Kogyo Co, Satrac has invested ₹250 crore in the plant, with plans to invest an additional ₹70–80 crore over the next two years, said MC Bantwal, Managing Director of Satrac.

The facility, South Asia’s largest trailer and truck body manufacturing plant, has a production capacity of over 800 units per month, which is expected to rise to 1,000 units within 24 months.

Satrac currently operates two facilities in Bengaluru and Chennai, with a combined monthly production capacity exceeding 1,500 units during peak months. Bantwal noted that the project faced nearly three years of delays due to internal approvals and Covid-19 disruptions.
