Tyre major MRF Ltd plans to expand production capacity at its two plants in Tamil Nadu by investing Rs.4,500 crore over a period of seven years, the company said.

In a filing with the BSE, the company said that as part to its expansion plan it proposes to invest Rs.4,500 crore in its plants in Perambalur and Arakonam over a period of seven years.

"The government of Tamil Nadu considered the above proposal and has decided to accord 'Ultra Mega Project Status' under the Tamil Nadu Industrial Policy, 2014. The Memorandum of Understanding between the government and the company in this regard is expected to be signed shortly," MRF said.

Under the ultra mega project status, the state government offers various tax incentives.

The tyre maker has three plants located in Tamil Nadu, one each in Puducherry, Kerala, Goa and two in Andhra Pradesh.
