== History ==
[[Toyota Motor Corporation]] entered India in 1997 in a joint venture with the [[Kirloskar Group]]. Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) holds 89% of the share and the remaining 11% is owned by Kirloskar Group.<ref>[http://business.mapsofindia.com/automobile/car-manufacturers/toyota-kirloskar-motor.html Toyota Kirloskar Motor Ltd., Toyota Kirloskar Motors, Toyota Qualis, Toyota Innova, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Camry, Toyota Plado]</ref> It is based in [[Bidadi]], [[Karnataka]], [[India]], near [[Bangalore]].

== Manufacturing facilities ==
TKMPL's current plant at [[Bidadi]], [[Karnataka]] is spread across 850 acres and has a capacity of 110,000 vehicles per annum.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.toyotabharat.com/inen/news/PR_March_etios_2011.asp |title=Archived copy |access-date=23 April 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110317042430/http://www.toyotabharat.com/inen/news/PR_March_etios_2011.asp |archive-date=17 March 2011 }}</ref>
TKMPL's second manufacturing plant on the outskirts of [[Bangalore]], [[Karnataka]] has a capacity of 210,000 vehicles per annum. Total production capacity is 320,000 vehicles per annum. On 16 March 2011, it announced that it was increasing production to 210,000 vehicles per annum<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.toyotabharat.com/inen/news/PR_March_Production_2011.asp |title=Archived copy |access-date=22 July 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110427034754/http://www.toyotabharat.com/inen/news/PR_March_Production_2011.asp |archive-date=27 April 2011 }}</ref> due to increase in demand for its models especially the [[Toyota Etios|Etios]] and [[Toyota Fortuner|Fortuner]].

With effect from 1 June 2012, Toyota Kirloskar Motor will be increasing the prices of Etios diesel and Innova by 1 per cent and Fortuner and Etios Liva diesel by 0.5 per cent. The price hike is on account of the weakening of Rupee.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/companies/article3479963.ece | title=Toyota to hike product prices | date=1 June 2012}}</ref>
Toyota announced that Etios sedan and the Liva hatchback has posted sales of over 100,000 units, hence Toyota is all set for giving its production a big boost. Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) plans to hike the production capacity of its Etios series models by 75% by early 2013.<ref>{{cite news| url= http://www.zigwheels.com/news-features/news/toyota-etios-and-liva-production-to-be-hiked-by-75/13104/1| title=Toyota Etios and Liva production to be hiked by 75% | date=31 May 2012}}</ref>

== Industrial relations ==
On 16 March 2014, Toyota Kirloskar Motor temporarily suspended the production at two of its assembly plants in [[Bidadi]], [[Karnataka]] whose production capacity was 310,000 units annually and has employee strength of 6,400. Cause for the shutdown was failure to reach an agreement with the union over the issue of wages, deliberate stoppages of the production line by certain sections of the employees and abusing & threatening of supervisors thereby disrupting the production for the past 25 days.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/business-news/toyota-locks-out-workers-at-two-bangalore-plants/article1-1196332.aspx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140317084619/http://www.hindustantimes.com/business-news/toyota-locks-out-workers-at-two-bangalore-plants/article1-1196332.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-date=17 March 2014 |title=Toyota shuts 2 India plants in lockout over wages |date=17 March 2014 |work=[[Hindustan Times]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/toyota-kirloskar-declares-lockout/article5793094.ece |title=Toyota Kirloskar declares lock-out |date=16 March 2014 |work=[[The Hindu]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/auto/automobiles/toyota-kirloskar-motor-declares-lockout-at-bidadi-over-labour-woes/articleshow/32153156.cms |title=Toyota Kirloskar Motor declares lockout at Bidadi over labour woes |date=16 March 2014 |work=[[The Economic Times]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/Toyota-declares-lockout-at-its-Bidadi-facility/articleshow/32152552.cms |title=Toyota declares lockout at its Bidadi facility |date=16 March 2014 |work=[[Times of India]]}}</ref> Toyota Kirloskar Motor announced on 21 March 2014 to lift the lockout at the plants effective from 24 March 2014 with subject to an acceptance of a service condition which requires all the employees signing an undertaking on good conduct.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/Toyota-agrees-to-lift-lockout-at-its-Bangalore-units/articleshow/32375326.cms |title=Toyota agrees to lift lockout at its Bangalore units |date=21 March 2014 |work=[[Times of India]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/toyota-crisis-resolved-company-lifts-lockout/article5811323.ece |title=Toyota crisis resolved, company lifts lockout |date=21 March 2014 |work=[[The Hindu]]}}</ref> On 22 April 2014, employees called off the strike after 36 days of standoff and resumed full operations.<ref>{{cite web|title=Toyota plant in Bangalore resumes operations as workers return|url=http://news.biharprabha.com/2014/04/toyota-plant-in-bangalore-resumes-operations-as-workers-return/|work=IANS|publisher=news.biharprabha.com|access-date=23 April 2014}}</ref>

== Etios motor racing ==
{{Unreferenced section|date=December 2020}}
Toyota India started a One make racing series in India with the Etios car called the 'Etios Motor Racing Series'. The series started in 2012, it witnessed an overwhelming response from the Indian youngsters, with 3300 applicants. They held 2 rounds of exhibition races in 2012, one at a purpose built race track in Chennai called the Sriperumbudur race track and other in the form of ROC (Race of champions) in Gurgaon. The 25 selected drivers then competed in the main championship held in the later half of 2013. The cars were prepared by Red Rooster Performance (based in Bangalore), and designed by TRD (Toyota Racing Development). With stock engines producing almost 100 bhp, the cars were a good platform for youngsters to step from karting to touring cars. Also the relatively cheaper budget of just $3216 for the entire series which includes an entire OMP racing kit makes it one of the best one-make series to compete in.
