Strategic Profile

JK Tyre is a pioneer of radial technology in India, the No. 1 Truck/Bus Radial manufacturer, the first company in India with OE fitment of tubeless passenger radials, and first to launch high-performance H, V and Z-rated passenger radial tyres. The company continues to focus on innovation, launching new products such as EV tyres and embedded SMART tyres. In May 2026, the Board approved a phased TBR/PCR tyre expansion with a ₹4,980 crore investment, increasing capacity by 24% by FY30.

Cyborg Score Rationale

JK Tyre demonstrated strong financial momentum in FY26 with record revenues, 25% EBITDA growth, and 83% profit growth in Q4. The company is expanding capacity significantly (₹4,980 crore investment), securing new OEM approvals for EV tyres, and maintaining strong EBITDA margins (13-15% guidance). However, capacity constraints, limited pricing power, and rising raw material costs present near-term headwinds.
