Tyre stocks jump 2-4% after govt imposes duty on tyre imports from China
China is the major exporter and dumps the tires into the Indian replacement market
Domestic tire stocks are having a party after the government imposed a counter-veiling duty on truck and bus radial tire imports from China.
China is the major exporter and dumps the tires into the Indian replacement market. Radial tires constitute about 50 percent of the tire demand and about 20-25 percent requirement is met through imports mainly through China. This will narrow the price differential between Chinese and domestic tires and boost the domestic tire demand.
Tire stocks including Seat and MRF jumped over 2 percent each while Apollo Tyres gained over a percent. Balkrishna Industries jumped 3 percent while JK Tyre and Industries spiked over 4 percent.
The scrips have registered a loss of up to 35 percent in the last year. This move by the government is a positive sign by domestic tire manufacturers.
