India is making a big mark in the global tyre market. According to the latest Global Tyre Report by Tire Business, four Indian companies are now in the top 20 tyre manufacturers worldwide. MRF leads the charge at 13th, followed closely by Apollo Tyres at 14th. JK Tyre & Industries is at 19th, and CEAT has made its debut at 20th.
Experts say this success shows how India is growing in manufacturing, technology, and global competitiveness. Rajiv Budhraja, the Director General of the Automotive Tyre Manufacturers Association (ATMA), noted, “This milestone validates India’s emergence as a global hub for high-quality, value-driven tyre manufacturing.”
Looking back, Apollo Tyres has climbed three spots since 2013, while JK Tyre has moved up six places, and CEAT has gained three spots in just a year. This rapid progress highlights the country’s commitment to improving its industry.
Indian tyre makers aren’t just excelling overall; they’re also leaders in specialized areas. MRF is at the forefront of global racing tyre production and is a strong contender in the motorcycle and farm tyre segments.
