JK Tyre and Leading Manufacturers Expand Capacity Amid Rising Costs and Growth Plans
JK Tyre, led by the Singhania family, plans to pursue acquisitions alongside a ₹6,000 crore organic expansion over three years, targeting growth in truck, bus, passenger vehicle, premium, EV, and export markets. This follows successful turnarounds of previous acquisitions. Meanwhile, India's leading tyre manufacturers, including JK Tyre and CEAT, are accelerating capacity expansions despite margin pressures from rising input costs, with sector investments expected to reach around ₹18,000 crore over FY27 and FY28 to meet strong demand and high plant utilization.
