Wheels India has a capex plan of Rs 225 crore for this year towards expansion of the cast aluminium and machining for windmill castings businesses, apart from agri/earth moving wheels and hydraulic business.
It is planning to increase the production of aluminium wheels from the current level of 25,000 wheels per month to 40,000 wheels per month in the H2 of the year.
