Mumbai- JK Tyre & Industries Ltd., has launched first embedded smart tyres for passenger vehicles, featuring built-in sensors designed to monitor critical tyre parameters continuously.
The tyres, manufactured at the company's Banmore facility in Madhya Pradesh, incorporate sensors within the tyre structure that track air pressure, temperature, and potential air leaks. The technology aims to provide real-time data to improve vehicle safety, performance, and fuel efficiency.
According to Dr. Raghupati Singhania, Chairman and Managing Director of JK Tyre, the launch represents a significant step in the company's innovation strategy. "By integrating intelligence at the very core of performance, we are transforming the way India drives, making mobility smarter, safer, and more sustainable," he stated.
The embedded smart tyres will be available through JK Tyre's dealership network in sizes ranging from 14 to 17 inches. The company positions this product as an advancement of its earlier SMART Tyre technology, which combined Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems with cloud-based analytics when introduced in 2019.
