BKT’s origins date back to 1954 with its visionary founder, Mahabirprasad Poddar, who began producing bicycle tyres in response to the growing demand for mobility in a newly independent India. What started as a courageous solo mission thrived over the years, with many people joining Mahabirprasad on his journey. The company experienced rapid growth under his inclusive and innovative leadership, laying the foundations of a successful family business destined to endure for generations.
In 1987, BKT was officially launched as a tyre company, becoming an international off-road tyre business in 1995. Since then, BKT has become a global player in the off-road tyre market, thanks to its unwavering commitment to continuous improvement and innovation. BKT remains a family business but is also a truly global company, placing great value on its local and global communities. The company’s global perspective is further emphasised by its focus on sustainability in every area of its operations.
