JK Tyre To Expand Production With ₹5,000 Crore Investment Plan

JK Tyre & Industries will invest about ₹5,000 crore over the next five to six years to increase its manufacturing capacity. The plan includes new lines for car and truck tyres, and some production will be set aside for export markets, the company’s Chairman and Managing Director, Raghupati Singhania, said.

Current Investment Phase Nearing End

The company is already investing ₹4,000 crore to upgrade its existing facilities. This investment cycle began 4 years ago and is expected to finish by the next quarter. Once completed, the next phase of expansion under the new ₹5,000 crore plan will begin.

Focus on Exports

Exports currently account for around 14% of JK Tyre’s total revenue. The company exports to about 110 countries. Due to a 50% import duty in the US, shipments from India have slowed. To manage this, JK Tyre has diverted some exports to other regions and increased exports to the US from its Mexico plant. The company is also looking at additional markets to maintain steady overseas sales.

Domestic Market Outlook

In India, the tyre industry is expected to grow by 5-7% this year. JK Tyre expects to perform slightly better than the overall market. The company believes that revisions in GST rates could improve affordability and help rural demand. The recovery in small car sales is also expected to support tyre demand in the coming months.

Launch of Smart Tyres

JK Tyre has launched embedded smart tyres for passenger vehicles. Developed at its Banmore facility in Madhya Pradesh, the tyres come with sensors that track air pressure, temperature, and leaks. These tyres will be available in sizes ranging from 14 to 17 inches and will be sold through company dealerships.
