Balkrishna Industries (BKT) and Italy's Pirelli have entered a strategic partnership to produce up to 800,000 Pirelli-branded passenger car tyres annually in India by 2030. Initially, BKT will manufacture these tyres at its Bhuj facility under an off-take agreement. A second phase envisions a 50:50 joint venture to build a dedicated plant for premium tyres under both brands, targeting domestic and international markets. The collaboration aims to capitalize on India's growing car market and premium tyre demand.
