BKT displays giant tyres at IMME 2022
Balkrishna Industries Ltd. (BKT), the Indian multinational Group and global player in the off-highway tyre market, showcased its world-class mining masterpieces at the 16th edition of International Mining and Machinery Exhibition (IMME) held in Kolkata recently.
BKT showcased its all-steel radial tyre EARTHMAX SR 468 TL – the giant 57-inch tyre is developed to limit heat generation and make it cut resistance. Its greater casing resistance makes it an excellent choice for the mining sector.
Another tyre from the BKT’s EARTHMAX family on the display was the EARTHMAX SR 53 TL – also an all-steel radial tyre specially designed for ultra-large loaders, dozers, and low-profile dump trucks.
Commenting on the growth of all-steel radial tyre business, Prasanta Ganguly, Head OTR Marketing, Domestic Market, BKT Tires said, “The all-steel radial tyre segment is growing exponentially in India driven by increasing awareness about the advantages of this type of tyres. So, we are going to grow exponentially and expect a growth of about 35 – 40% in the next 3 years’ time.”
