Indian Tyre Exports Reach Record Rs 27,312 Crore in FY2025-26 Despite Challenges
Indian tyre exports reached a record Rs 27,312 crore in FY2025-26, marking a 9% increase from the previous year despite global supply chain disruptions and tariff fluctuations. The United States remained the largest market, accounting for 15% of exports, though its share declined due to tariff hikes from 25% to 50% in August 2025, later reduced to 18% in February 2026. Other key markets included Germany, Italy, Brazil, and France, with exports spanning over 170 countries. The sector's growth was supported by significant domestic investments and market diversification.
