With over six decades of expertise, BKT is redefining the future of Off-Highway tires through relentless focus on resilience, sustainability, and technological excellence.

By integrating cutting-edge materials—such as rice husk silica, colophony resin, and tire pyrolysis oil—BKT is not only reducing reliance on fossil fuels but also leading the industry toward a true circular economy.

By recovering carbon black and the reclamation of plasticizers from end-of-life tires, BKT stands at the forefront of sustainable manufacturing, delivering unparalleled value and high-performance quality to stakeholders worldwide.

At the heart of this mission lies the Suresh Poddar Innovation Hub in Bhuj, a world-class research center where state-of-the-art NABL-accredited laboratories and dedicated test tracks transform visionary ideas into high-performance solutions.

BKT Carbon “3550, THE LAB” is a state-of-the-art research and development center located in Bhuj, India, featuring advanced facilities.

Carbon Black is an additive primarily used for coloring and reinforcing rubber and plastic products. Its widespread use in industrial production is due to its ability to provide a deep and long-lasting black color. We are evolving from a raw material supplier into a strategic partner focused on driving long-term growth and operational efficiency for our clients.
