JK Tyre Diversifies to Counter US Tariffs, Boosts Profit
Imagine a tire company called JK Tyre.
The US put extra taxes on their tires, so they decided to sell more tires in other places like Europe and South America.
They are also making more tires in India because people are buying more thanks to a tax cut.
They're making new, bigger tires, especially for SUVs.
The company is doing well, making more money, and planning to build new factories in the future.
JK Tyre is mitigating the impact of US tariffs by expanding exports to Europe and South America.
The company's US exposure is only 3% of its total turnover.
JK Tyre is increasing domestic capacity due to increased demand after the GST cut.
New capacities will focus on premium, larger-sized tires for SUVs.
The company reported a 62% year-on-year growth in consolidated net profit.
