In addition to conventional ICE vehicles, the Company continues to be a significant player in Electric vehicles, supplying tyres to all major Original Equipment Manufacturers in Commercial, Passenger and 2/3 Wheeler segments.

A slew of new SKUs launched in various categories like Passenger, Motorcycle, Truck, LCV and OTR have given an impetus to growth in the current year.
