The tyre factory of the state-owned Ceylon Tyre Corporation in a suburb of Colombo was built in 1967 with Soviet assistance — one of three industrial projects carried out in Ceylon with Soviet help. The corporation was privatised as Kelani Tyres in 1992; since the 1990s the CEAT Kelani joint venture has operated on the Kelaniya site.
