Balkrishna Industries Ltd. (BKT) has once again received the Highest Export Award from the All India Rubber Industries Association (AIRIA), recognising its strong global presence in the tyre market for FY 2024-25. The award honours BKT’s consistent export excellence, as the company supplies tyres, flaps, and carbon-black products to more than 160 countries worldwide. Construction World reported that BKT has earned this distinction every year since 2009.
This achievement reinforces BKT’s reputation for innovation, quality, and its focus on sustainability in off-highway tyres. Arvind Poddar, Chairman and Managing Director of BKT, stated that this recognition reflects the company’s commitment to delivering world-class products while maintaining a strong export network.
The AIRIA award also highlights India’s growing influence in the global tyre industry, showing how Indian manufacturers are scaling their presence despite international competition. For BKT, this award not only celebrates its success but also sets a higher benchmark for other domestic players to aim for similar global growth.
