Kolkata, Sep 3 - Kolkata-based tyre manufacturer Dunlop India will resume production at its Sahaganj factory in West Bengal around the Durga Puja festival in late September after remaining closed for 10 months, a top company official said Thursday.

'The Sahaganj plant will resume production either just before the Puja, or right after the Puja. Resumption of production will take about 15 days from the restoration of power supply, which may take three to four days,' said Dunlop chairman Pawan Kumar Ruia in a statement.

'At the moment, we are evaluating whether to restart production before the Puja and then close again for the Puja holidays, or to start right after the Puja holidays and move ahead with uninterrupted production. We are open to both possibilities and look forward to an early restoration of power.'

The company management suspended work at Sahaganj from last November citing the meltdown.
