However, they are specifically designed for four-wheeler EVs.Similarly, JK Tyres has also developed a complete range of EV-specific Smart radial tyres for all categories of buses, trucks, LCVs, and passenger cars in India. According to the Automotive Tyre Manufacturers’ Association (ATMA), all large tyre companies, with manufacturing facilities in India, have developed and/or are in the process of developing tyres for EVs as the electric segment is gaining traction across all categories of vehicles, from small two-wheelers to large city buses.

It is also the first Indian tyre to have received a fuel savings label with a 5-star rating for the PV category from the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). The products have been designed to cater to EVs like Tata Nexon, MG ZS, Hyundai Kona, and other upcoming EVs from Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, etc.

The RSI Indicator even though showing overbought as it has crossed 80 point mark but still the positive momentum is likely to be sustained post the stellar results.

Our view

The rising crude oil price throughout the world and increasing operating costs of tyre manufacturers were a huge hit to this industry. But Apollo tyres taking actions by cost-cutting and efficiency in financial management were profitable in every quarter from Q2FY21.

The initiative to launch new EV-specific tyres for cars, scooters, and lastly for motorcycles will allow the firm to have a larger share in the growing EV segment. Apollo tyres stock is attracting investors with the strength of its financials in Q1FY23 results as well as reaching a three-year high on the technical charts with a potential to move up higher in the near term.
