The development comes amid the lingering standoff with the Chinese army along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the Ladakh region & tensions spilling over into the eastern sector.

Run-flat tires allow military vehicles to continue moving, even if they suffer punctures or damage to their tires. This capability is vital for troop transport, reconnaissance missions, and critical operations where immediate tire replacement might not be feasible. Moreover, military vehicles are required to travel in harsh conditions like off-road, desert, mountainous terrain, etc., where the probability of getting vehicles tire punctured is a common phenomenon. Hence, the expansion in defense budgets across the global countries would subsequently enhance the military segment share in the Global Run Flat Tire Market.
