The Electric Vehicle (EV) segment is rapidly gaining traction, spurred by government incentives and a growing awareness of environmental issues. The Indian government has set ambitious targets for EV adoption, with projections indicating that electric two-wheelers could reach significant penetration levels in the coming years. This shift is prompting manufacturers to develop specialized tires that cater to the unique requirements of electric scooters and motorcycles, such as lower rolling resistance and enhanced grip. Companies are investing in technology to produce tires that not only meet performance standards but also align with sustainability goals.
