What Drove The Quarter

Domestic demand was the primary engine. India sales volumes grew 21% year-on-year across segments during the quarter, with the original equipment manufacturer segment delivering a particularly sharp 42% jump.

The tailwinds behind that performance included GST and personal tax reforms, easing interest rates and improved broader economic activity, according to the company.

Exports held up despite geopolitical headwinds from the West Asia conflict. The Mexico subsidiary, JK Tornel, added to consolidated performance, though its revenue contribution slipped slightly year-on-year to ₹377.57 crore from ₹449.60 crore.

FY26 Full Year Highlights

Chairman and Managing Director Raghupati Singhania described FY26 as a landmark year for the company.

Annual consolidated revenue reached an all-time high of ₹16,386.7 crore, while full year EBITDA rose to ₹2,089 crore. The EBITDA margin improved to 12.8%. Record volumes were achieved across segments during the year.

The ₹4,980 Crore Expansion

Alongside the quarterly results, JK Tyre announced a ₹4,980 crore capital expenditure programme aimed at scaling truck and bus radial and passenger car radial tyre production capacities by 24% by FY30. The board approved the programme under Securities and

Exchange Board of India disclosure norms. Singhania said the capacity build-out reflects the company's intent to capture higher value-added product demand in both domestic and export markets, even as near-term input cost pressures from global commodity movements remain a challenge heading into FY27.
