Building on this momentum, in 2025, we achieved a major milestone with the launch of capacity expansion, including a 360,000 MTPA carbon black scale-up and 24 MW cogeneration at our Bhuj plant, while targeting a 2.2x revenue growth to Rs 23,000 crore by FY2030, reinforcing our leadership in India. As BKT enters its next phase of growth, we remain firmly aligned with our long-term vision for the Off-highway segment. Our ambition to achieve a 10% global market share in Off-Highway tires by 2030 is central to our strategic direction. This goal underscores our commitment to strengthening our portfolio in high-value segments, deepening our presence in key global markets, and consistently delivering products that meet the evolving demands of industries worldwide.
