09 Feb 2026 CW Team

Commenting on the performance, Dr Raghupati Singhania said the company delivered a robust Q3, driven by sustained traction across both OEM and replacement segments, reflecting continued customer confidence in the JK Tyre brand.

The domestic business recorded a 16 per cent year-on-year growth, led by 12 per cent growth in the replacement segment and a sharp 27 per cent rise in OEM demand. Exports remained resilient despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainties.

Consolidated EBITDA stood at Rs 5.83 billion, translating into an EBITDA margin of 13.8 per cent, a year-on-year expansion of 470 basis points. The improvement was driven by product premiumisation, operating leverage, execution excellence and benign raw material prices. Profit after tax surged 3.7 times to Rs 2.09 billion, compared to Rs 570 million in the corresponding quarter last year.

During the quarter, JK Tyre completed the merger of Cavendish Industries Limited with the company following receipt of all statutory approvals. Acquired in 2016, Cavendish has seen capacity utilisation rise from around 30 per cent to over 95 per cent, marking another successful turnaround after Vikrant Tyres and JK Tornel.

The Mexico-based subsidiary also reported a significant improvement in financial performance, further strengthening consolidated results. Looking ahead, the company expressed confidence in sustained momentum, supported by healthy demand and favourable macro indicators, with optimism extending into FY27.

Reinforcing its sustainability focus, JK Tyre received a Silver rating in the latest EcoVadis ESG assessment, placing it among the top 7 per cent of companies globally and aligning with its vision of becoming a green company by 2050.
