Yokohama India has expanded its manufacturing capabilities at its Bahadurgarh facility in Haryana, now producing 20-inch tyres to meet the rising demand from the growing SUV and premium vehicle segments. The latest addition to Yokohama’s product lineup is the Geolandar X-CV (G057), a high-performance tyre designed specifically for luxury SUVs.
Featuring an asymmetric tread pattern, advanced silica compounds, and a 2-ply sidewall, the tyre delivers superior grip, enhanced durability, and a smoother driving experience. These tyres will be available through Yokohama’s extensive network of over 3,000 retailers across India. This move comes after Yokohama India’s successful localization of 19-inch tyre production and reinforces the company’s commitment to catering to evolving market trends.
“With advancements in road infrastructure and vehicle design, Indian motorists are increasingly opting for larger tyres,” said Gaurav Mahajan, Head of Marketing at Yokohama India. “Larger tyres enhance handling, safety, and braking performance, making them ideal for modern vehicles. By expanding our local production capabilities, we are ensuring that our premium segment customers get cutting-edge, high-performance products. Our facility is now equipped to manufacture tyres up to 24 inches, future-proofing our offerings for evolving automotive needs.”
India’s SUV and premium vehicle segments have witnessed rapid growth, contributing to the country’s emergence as the third-largest passenger vehicle market globally, with annual sales surpassing 4 million units in 2024. The demand for luxury and high-performance vehicles is expected to grow further, driving the need for advanced tyre solutions.
