India is a developing country. The working class is having more money in hand. Households are moving towards spending more than ever before. Cars and bikes are the most sought goods to buy after a sudden increase in the income scale. For price-sensitive Indians, the second-hand vehicle market is gaining traction.

Best Tyre Stocks in India 2024

History:

If you had followed the early Feb’22 news, you would have come across a cartelism scandal by tyre manufacturers. CCI found them guilty and charged them with a hefty fine. This caused all tyre shares, Apollo Tyres, CEAT Ltd., MRF, JK Tyres to trade lower than their true value. This news is now digested and the current stock price has adjusted penalties to be paid by the manufacturers.
