Strategic Corporate Actions

During Q3FY26, JK Tyre successfully completed the merger of Cavendish Industries Limited (CIL) with the company following receipt of all statutory approvals. The merger became effective on 22nd December 2025 after filing the National Company Law Tribunal order with the Registrar of Companies, Rajasthan.

Acquired in 2016 from Kesoram Industries Limited, CIL underwent remarkable transformation under JK Tyre's leadership, with capacity utilization scaling from around 30% to over 95%.

Sustainability and Recognition

JK Tyre reinforced its commitment to sustainability by receiving the prestigious Silver rating in the latest EcoVadis ESG assessment, placing the company among the top 7% of companies globally. This recognition supports the company's long-term vision of becoming a green company by 2050. The company has also been ranked as 'Great Place to Work' in 2025 for the fifth consecutive year.

JK Tyre & Industries has received reaffirmation of its credit ratings from CARE Ratings Limited following the completion of its merger with subsidiary Cavendish Industries Limited. The development comes after the National Company Law Tribunal approved the merger through its order dated November 20, 2025, with the merger becoming effective December 22, 2025.

Merger Details and Impact

Following the tribunal's approval, Cavendish Industries Limited has ceased to exist as a separate entity effective December 22, 2025. All assets, liabilities, rights, and obligations of the subsidiary have been transferred to and vested in JK Tyre & Industries Ltd. The credit facilities previously availed by Cavendish Industries are now deemed to be availed by the parent company.

CARE Ratings has withdrawn the ratings previously assigned to Cavendish Industries' bank facilities following the merger completion. The rating agency confirmed that the merger has no impact on JK Tyre's credit profile, as their analytical approach for the company was already consolidated, including the subsidiary.

Credit Rating Reaffirmation

CARE Ratings has reaffirmed JK Tyre's credit ratings across all facilities and instruments. The company received confirmation of these ratings on January 13, 2026, at 11:19 AM.

Rating Rationale and Company Strengths

CARE Ratings highlighted several key factors supporting the rating reaffirmation. The assessment continues to derive strength from JK Tyre's long operational track record and significant market share supported by strong brand recognition across all vehicle categories. The company maintains a leadership position in the Truck and Bus Radial (TBR) segment.

The rating agency also emphasized the company's diversified portfolio across major original equipment manufacturers and the replacement market. This diversification is supported by a wide and robust distribution network, with exports reaching over 100 countries globally.
