In a move to maintain market presence and meet growing demand, French tyre major Michelin is seeking to continue importing Passenger Vehicle (PV) tyres into India. This strategy aims to bridge the gap until local production at its upcoming Chennai plant reaches full capacity. The company has been in extensive discussions with the Indian government to extend its import license for PV tyres, highlighting its commitment to both global supply chain management and local market penetration.
Michelin is investing Rs 564 crore in its Chennai facility to enhance production capacity for passenger vehicle tyres. This strategic investment comes as part of the company's broader plan to increase its footprint in the Indian market, known for its substantial growth potential. Michelin has previously focused on manufacturing radial truck/bus tyres and defence tyres at the same facility, which has been operational since 2014.
The Indian government's import restrictions on certain new pneumatic tyres since 2020 have led to a shift in how tyre manufacturers operate in the country. Previously, companies could import tyres freely, but now they can only do so in limited quantities. This change has necessitated a local manufacturing strategy for companies like Michelin.
Given these challenges, Michelin has been proactive in responding to market needs and regulatory changes. The company aims to scale up its production of PV tyres over the next few years, targeting premium segments such as SUVs that value Michelin's technological superiority.
Michelin CEO Florent Menegaux emphasized the need for a level-playing field for all operators in the Indian market. This would enable competition to thrive while promoting cooperation and sustainable growth in the sector.
As Michelin continues to navigate the evolving Indian tyre market, its strategy to ensure import continuity while ramping up local production reflects its commitment to both consumers and regulatory compliance. The Chennai plant will play a pivotal role in Michelin's Indian operations, underscoring the company's ambition to be a major player in the country's growing automotive sector.
As the Indian market continues to grow, companies like Michelin are poised to play significant roles in shaping its future. With a focus on sustainability, technological innovation, and compliance with local regulations, Michelin is well-positioned to enhance its market share while contributing to the development of India's automotive sector.
