A report from the Automotive Tyre Manufacturers Association (ATMA) reveals that the import of TBR during April and May swelled to 280,000 units against the import of 180,000 units last year in the same period. Here, the rising numbers are quite a worry for the Indian tyre makers as they have recently invested Rs 25,000 crore for capacity creation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The major chunk of TBR tyre import to India is from the adjoining country China. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/tyremantra\/top-10-tyre-companies-in-india-mrf-ceat-apollo-jk\/\">Domestic tyre makers<\/a><\/strong> blame Chinese tyre manufacturers for dumping their products in the Indian tyre market, which affects them adversely. However, ATMA asserts the fact that many a time the per-unit cost of the Chinese tyres is lower than the price of the raw material available in India.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>May 2016 saw the tyre import of 150,000 TBR units, which is nearly 40% of the replacement demand for TBRs in a single month. The last financial year saw 90% import of Chinese TBR products compared to 70% in the previous year and 40% in the year prior to that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Good to Know:<\/strong> Chinese per-unit radial for trucks or buses costs around $150 (Rs 10,000), whereas Indian bus or truck tyre costs Rs 15,000. Clearly, the China-made tyres cost 30% less compared to Indian ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first two months of the ongoing financial year didn\u2019t bring any
