India ·
Balkrishna Industries Limited, known by its BKT brand, is an Indian tyre manufacturer that specialises in off-highway applications. Its tyres serve agriculture, construction and industrial equipment, and India is the industrial and strategic core of the group. Alongside tyres, BKT runs carbon black production, which serves a wide range of industries. Agriculture is therefore one of several markets in a broader industrial business.
BKT's farm range covers tyres for tractors, harvesting machinery and agricultural transport such as trailers. For a farmer, the right tyre depends on the specific model, its construction and its permitted loads rather than on the brand name alone. When tyres are changed on a four-wheel-drive tractor, the rolling circumference of front and rear tyres has to stay compatible, otherwise the drivetrain is put under strain and traction suffers.
Size of the business
BKT reports distribution partners in more than 160 countries on five continents, covering its whole tyre business rather than agriculture alone.
What does the company offer?
BKT offers tractor tyres, harvesting tyres and transport tyres, alongside a broader range of industrial and off-highway tyres.
How should a buyer make contact?
Sales are organised by country and business unit, and the company website lists the local contacts for each market. Enquiries are handled most quickly when they state the intended use, the size of the project and the timing required.
