“The increase in capacity, manpower and the use of secondary labour are all progressive steps taken by the unions,” Apollo Tyres India operations chief Satish Sharma said in a statement.

“These will have multiple benefits, beginning from securing the future of the plant to providing employment to a larger number of people. We continue to remain hopeful that the third union also will accept the conditions in the new long term settlement.”
