Used tyres from India and the world

We buy used tyres from collectors, dealers and fleets across India, and from long-term partners abroad. Every tyre goes to mechanical recycling at our own plants.

Two routes

Local and international

Most of our tyres come from within India, and the rest from trusted partners overseas.

Across India

Domestic sourcing

We buy used tyres from scrap dealers, collectors, tyre shops and fleet operators across India. Local sourcing is at the heart of our business and of India's push to recycle its own waste tyres.

Worldwide

International sourcing

We import used tyres from long-term partners abroad, giving material that might otherwise be landfilled a second life in India.

The bigger picture

Where India's recycled tyres come from

In FY 2024 India recycled 3 million tonnes of waste tyres. Just over half were collected at home and the rest arrived by sea.
