The origin of Indian tyre industry dates back to 1926 when Dunlop Rubber Limited set up the first tyre company in West Bengal. MRF followed the suit in 1946. Since then Indian tyre industry has grown rapidly. The Indian tyre industry produces the complete range of tyres required by the Indian automotive industry. Today domestic producers of tyres produce tyres for trucks, jeeps, light trucks, tractors, animal drawn vehicles, scooters, motorcycles, bicycles, and off the road vehicle and special vehicles.The scenario in India stands in sharp contrast to that in the world tyre market, where car tyres including light trucks have the major share 88 by the volume followed by the truck tyres. In India however passengers car tyres have 17 share of overall market. With the stock of car increasing demand is likely to continue.
