India Off Highway Vehicle Tyre Market, By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2021-2031F

The India Off Highway Vehicle Tyre Market was valued at USD 1.22 Billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 1.69 Billion by 2031, rising at a CAGR of 5.52%. Market growth is being driven by ongoing expansion in construction, mining, and agriculture, all of which increasingly rely on mechanized equipment. As demand rises for durable tyres capable of withstanding rough terrain and heavy operational loads, the industry is transitioning from traditional bias tyres to high-performance radial variants. Government investments in infrastructure, such as highways, irrigation, and metro projects, are significantly contributing to tyre consumption. Additionally, rising awareness of cost-efficiency and productivity is encouraging adoption of tyres with enhanced durability, traction, and retreadability, shaping a more performance-focused market landscape.

Key Market Drivers

Infrastructure Expansion and Heavy Equipment Demand

The surge in infrastructure development across India is a major catalyst for the off-highway tyre market. Major construction initiatives - including roadways, metro systems, and urban development - require a wide range of heavy machinery such as backhoes, loaders, and excavators. For instance, the National Highway network expanded from 65,569 km in 2004 to 1,46,145 km in 2024, while construction speed increased from 12.1 km/day in 2014-15 to 33.8 km/day in 2023-24. These machines often operate under extreme conditions, accelerating tyre wear and increasing demand for robust, high-performance options.

As deadlines tighten and mechanization replaces manual labor, fleet operators are prioritizing tyres that deliver durability, puncture resistance, and operational longevity. The shift toward radial tyres and advanced tread patterns is supported by India’s record infrastructure capital expenditure, which reached USD 36.3 billion in 2023-24, a 5.7x increase from 2013-14. This growing infrastructure footprint continues to fuel the need for heavy-duty OHV tyres.

Key Market Challenges

High Cost of Premium and Radial Tyres

Although radial and premium tyres offer superior durability, fuel efficiency, and performance, their adoption is limited by high initial costs. In sectors such as small-scale construction or marginal farming, budget constraints often prevent investment in these high-end products. Radial tyres can cost up to 40% more than bias alternatives and may require compatible rims or suspension modifications, further increasing total cost. As a result, many operators continue to opt for bias tyres, despite their shorter lifespan, due to affordability. This cost barrier restricts market penetration for premium products and slows the overall transition to advanced tyre technologies in price-sensitive segments.

Key Market Trends

Growing Demand for Retreaded and Sustainable Tyres

Environmental awareness and the need for cost efficiency are encouraging broader adoption of retreaded and eco-friendly tyres in the OHV segment. Retreaded tyres allow operators to extend the usable life of tyre casings, significantly reducing lifecycle costs and waste. In industries like mining, construction, and agriculture - where tyre wear is rapid - retreading offers a practical solution without compromising performance. Modern retreading techniques such as pre-cured and mold-cured methods have improved reliability, making retreads more appealing. Concurrently, manufacturers are exploring green materials, including bio-based rubber and recycled compounds, to meet sustainability goals. Tyres with lower rolling resistance and longer tread life are also gaining traction, aligning with the industry’s shift toward environmentally responsible procurement practices.
