2 1. OVERVIEW OF THE INDIAN TYRE INDUSTRY: 1.1. Introduction The Rs.20,000 crore Indian Tyre Industry, is highly raw material intensive and predominantly a Cross Ply (or Bias) tyre manufacturing industry. It is highly concentrated wherein 10 large manufacturers account for over 95% of the total tonnage production of lakh M.T. It produces all categories of tyres, except Snow Tyres and Aero Tyre for which there is no demand domestically. The Indian tyre industry accounts for around 5% of the global demand as well as global supply of tyres. Domestic tyre industry has witnessed a remarkable recovery in FY10, after a slowdown in FY09. This growth was driven by strong revival in automobile demand on the back of resurgence in economy, rise in employment levels, and easing of interest rate scenario. Although strong demand growth is an encouraging scenario for the domestic industry, rising imports has become key concern factor off late. On an average, 55% of the production is for replacement market, followed by 29.8% sold to OEMs directly and the remaining is exported. Turnover of Indian Tyre Industry Tyre Production (Tonnage) Tyre Production All Categories (Nos.) Tyre Export from India (Value) Rs. 25,000 Crores lakh M.T. 971 Lakh Rs (est.) crores Number of tyre companies Key Influencers The level of economic activity, performance of domestic automotive industry, and the faring of the transport sector directly influence the performance of the tyre industry in India. With the replacement segment dominating the overall tyre demand, the industry remains inherently vulnerable to economic cycles. While radialisation has become the norm in the passenger car segment, in the bus and truck tyre segment, its acceptance is still limited. Bus and truck radialisation could emerge in the long term as the quality of roads improves and the restrictions on overloading are better enforced. The practice of re treading, which is 2

3 gaining increasing acceptance, could pose a challenge to replacement demand in the medium term. The ability of the re treading sector to capture potential replacement demand would depend on the awareness among customers (of the benefits of retreading) and also the quality of retreading done. Given the low levels of penetration of two wheelers and passenger cars in the country, OEM demand is likely to increase, which in turn would ush up replacement demand with a lag. Slowdown in automotive industry and global economy in general negatively impacted the Indian tyre industry in The industry tonnage growth was only 2.19% during first nine months of FY 2009, compared to 7.38% growth experienced during the same period last year. Demand side was also severely affected as almost all auto manufacturers were forced to adjust their production last year. A major relief for tyre manufacturers was provided by the government by reducing the excise duty on tyres from 14% to 10% in December 2008, and further to 8% in February

9 WASTE TYRE RECYCLING PROJECT UNDERSTANDING 4. TYRE RECYCLING IN INDIA Tyres have been making transportation more efficient and travel more comfortable since they were first invented for horse drawn carriage wheels in Early tyres were made from latex which is a natural extract of the rubber tree. These days tyres are made in several stages using many different materials as summarized below: Rubber The composition is dictated by the end use requirements of the tyre. A blend of natural and synthetic rubber is mixed with carbon black and chemicals for vulcanization. A typical car tyre uses about 40% natural rubber and 60% synthetic rubber. Textiles and steel wire Layers of textiles make up the casing of the tyre, which is reinforced with steel wire. Most modern tyres use steel wire to reinforce the tyre where it meets the rim of the wheel (called beads). In high performance, or truck tyres steel wire is also used to reinforce the textile casing. The constructed tyre is placed in a mould and inflated. Heating under pressure in the mould shapes the tread and vulcanizes the rubber. Tyres are designed to accommodate a variety of vehicles, surfaces and weather conditions. For example, truck tyres tend to have a higher percentage of steel to reinforce the structure. Tyres still have the same basic design and, despite variation, there is enormous potential for reuse or recovery due to the vast quantities of waste tyres generated each year. The number of vehicles hitting the roads is increasing everydayy and so is the number of tyres. There is a business opportunity up for grabs and it s in recycling them. With more than 33 million vehicles added to the Indian roads in last three years, can you guess the other items that would have increased manifold leading to some grave problems? 9
