National, August 07, 2025: Reinforcing its commitment to Make-in-India and aimed at further strengthening India’s role as a strategic automotive manufacturing hub, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has renewed its Wharfage Rate Agreement with Kamarajar Port Limited (KPL).
The renewed agreement was formalized by senior leadership from both entities at the Kamarajar Port, in the presence of key stakeholders from the shipping and automotive ecosystem.
The agreement marks a significant step in strengthening TKM’s global supply chain and ensuring the continued smooth export of Completely Built Units (CBUs) through KPL — the company’s primary export gateway since 2012.
Since the commencement of exports in April 2012, TKM has been utilizing Kamarajar Port as its core logistics hub for international dispatches. Starting with the export of 247 units of the Toyota Etios series to South Africa, the company has steadily expanded its global reach with the support of KPL’s robust port infrastructure.
Currently, TKM exports its Urban Cruiser Hyryder to 22 countries, including key markets such as South Africa, UAE, France, Egypt, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. Till date, over 180,000 CBUs have been shipped via KPL, underscoring the operational efficiency and trust built over the years.
