MRF, the leading tyre manufacturing company of India, on last Thursday, has achieved a significant milestone when it supplied the nose wheel tyres to the aircraft deployed by the Indian Air Force (IAF). MRF has also been supplying the main wheel tyre for SU 30 MKI, which is considered as the most advanced fighter aircraft in the IAF fleet.
Taking a cue from past supplies, the indigenisation of nose wheel tyres for SU 30 MKI was also made by MRF. After going through successful trials, the company is now getting ready to supply more nose wheel tyres for the fighter aircraft.
KM Mammen, Chairman of MRF, recently handed over the ‘MRF Aeromuscle Tyre’, which has been indigenously developed by the company for the SU 30 MKI aircraft of the IAF, in the presence of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister E K Palaniswami and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman at the Defence Industry Development meet held in Chennai.
As per an official associated with the MRF, the Company is currently executing an order for the supply of nose wheel tyres for the Sukhoi fleet. MRF has supplied, till now, around thousand units of Aeromuscle range of main wheel tyres for SU 30 MKI fleet.

MRF, after meeting all the stringent norms laid by the various authorities, has been supplying tyres for Chetak range helicopters since 2008. The company has supplied approximately 2,000 tyres for Chetak helicopters.
After this successful stint, the company started working on developing the main wheel tyres for fighter aircraft and came up with Aeromuscle tyres for fighter aircraft. MRF has now become one of the few global OEMs that supply tyres to the defence industry.
KM Mammen earlier briefed media that supplying tyres to defence was a prestigious project and they would take up the challenge to produce more aircraft tyres by meeting all the requirements.
The IAF intends to indigenize tyres of all fleet of aircraft and is now looking up for vendors to develop tyres for MiG 29 UPG and IL-76 aircraft fleets. This will soon be followed by the development of tyres of other aircraft fleets that are operated by the IAF.
