BKT‘s on-road commercial vehicle tyre unveiling is part of the company’s official entry into the Indian consumer tyre market.
BKT’s On-Road Commercial Vehicle Tyres Developed for Heavy-Duty Applications
Balkrishna Industries Limited (BKT) has introduced its first on-road commercial vehicle tyres as part of its new foray into the consumer tyre market. The tyres, the m.Loadxpert and the Milexpert RG, are both scheduled for launch by June 2026.
Developed for heavy-duty applications, such as cement transportation, construction logistics, and regional cargo movement, the m.Loadxpert and the Milexpert RG offer stability, casing strength, longer service life, and retreadability.
BKT said that the tyres have been validated through 138 in-process quality checks, more than 20 design verification tests, and testing in NABL-accredited laboratories, all in full compliance with BIS requirements.
Rajiv Poddar, Joint Managing Director of BKT, stated, “Our entry into consumer tyres is a strategic step under Vision 2030 to scale responsibly and expand BKT’s mobility footprint in India. Our ambition is clear: to build scale responsibly while protecting profitability and performance standards.”
“With a defined revenue roadmap toward ₹23,000 crore (around £1.9 million) by 2030, supported by disciplined investment and integrated manufacturing, we are not simply entering new categories; we are extending the BKT growth philosophy into segments that touch everyday mobility. This is measured growth, backed by capability, clarity, and long-term commitment,” he added.
BKT said its new portfolio will be rolled out through its distributor-dealer across the country, beginning with areas with the highest demand. Gradually, BKT will also introduce a dedicated customer care service through its digital portal.
The m.Loadxpert and the Milexpert RG are not the only tyres BKT recently introduced. Before introducing the commercial vehicle tyres, BKT had previously launched two motorcycle tyres, the Zenova and the Thyros, under the BKT Tyres consumer tyre brand. The company also announced a further investment to expand its production and research capacity.
