The leader in India's replacement tyre market is keenly eyeing opportunities in the performance motorcycle segment. It has added a new series named Masseter to its product portfolio, designed to be a cornering specialist. Earlier this year, the company signed an MoU with the Gujarat government to set up a manufacturing facility in the state. Expectations of a strong growth for the M&HCV and tractor segments augur well for MRF, though the rise in rubber prices remains a concern.
