BKT is in the process of expanding rubber track production at its Bhuj facility. The Indian plant is expected to be operational in the second half of next year.
Part of a five-year plan to progressively strengthening the company’s position in the rubber track business, BKT is also looking to consolidate its position in the agricultural sector, mining, industrial, and construction segments
To this end, the company is expanding its presence in the carbon black segment. The production capacity will be ramped up from 200,000 to 360,000 metric tonnes per year. This project is scheduled for completion by early 2026.
The goal is to achieve a 10% global market share in off-highway tyres and a turnover of US$2.6 billion by 2030. To this end, the company will invest US$400 million over the next three years.
The Indian tyre and track manufacturer plans to maintain a steady presence in Europe. The growth efforts will focus mainly on the Americas, India (where new truck, bus and passenger car radials are in development), and selected international markets.
