From Chairman ATMA
Tyre Industry in India has the potential to lead the march of Indian manufacturing globally in the new world order. Amid new geo-political warfare, the world is keenly looking for alternatives to China for sourcing a host of products. This could be India’s moment if we are able to seize the opportunity by promoting those sectors that have earned wide acclaim and Tyre Industry certainly ranks high on that list.
