JK Tyre & Industries Ltd. is a flagship company of the JK Organisation and stands as one of India's leading tyre manufacturers and among the top 25 globally. Founded in 1951 and headquartered in New Delhi, the company has a legacy spanning over seven decades. It is a pioneer of radial technology in India, having introduced the country's first radial tyre in 1977. Today, it is the undisputed market leader in the Truck/Bus Radial (TBR) segment in India. The company operates a robust manufacturing infrastructure consisting of 12 modern plants: 9 located in India (Mysore, Banmore, Kankroli, Chennai, and Haridwar) and 3 in Mexico through its subsidiary, JK Tornel. These facilities have a combined annual production capacity of approximately 35 million tyres. JK Tyre’s product portfolio is comprehensive, catering to diverse segments including passenger cars, commercial vehicles (trucks and buses), farming equipment, off-the-road (OTR) vehicles, and two- and three-wheelers. Notably, the company entered the Limca Book of Records for producing India's largest OTR tyre. JK Tyre maintains a strong global footprint, with a presence in over 105 countries supported by more than 230 international distributors. In India, its distribution network is equally formidable, featuring over 6,000 dealers and 650+ dedicated brand shops under names like Steel Wheels, Xpress Wheels, and Truck Wheels. The company’s revenue mix is well-balanced across replacement markets (approx. 64%), Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) (22%), and exports (14%). Innovation is driven by the Raghupati Singhania Centre of Excellence (RP SCOE) in Mysore, a world-class R&D hub. The company has also embraced smart technology, launching sensor-based Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS). Sustainability is a core focus, with JK Tyre being the first Indian tyre company to join RE100 and achieving high ESG ratings for its commitment to low-carbon solutions and water conservation. Financially, the company is listed on the BSE and NSE. For the fiscal year 2025, it reported a healthy operational profile despite raw material inflation, with a PBILDT margin of 10.3%. The leadership is headed by Dr. Raghupati Singhania (Chairman & Managing Director) and Mr. Anshuman Singhania (Managing Director). Beyond business, JK Tyre is synonymous with Indian motorsport, having invested heavily in infrastructure and talent development for over three decades. Its consistent quality has earned it the "Superbrand" status for ten consecutive years and various safety accolades, including the British Safety Council’s "Sword of Honour.
