Continental Tires has signed an MoU with Indag Rubber to promote second life of tyres. During the pilot, the warranty program and retreading services will be provided to TBR Normal Load (NL) fleets through retreaders from the three markets – Delhi NCR, Rajasthan and Maharashtra. 

Continental Tires will provide a second-life warranty on NL casings in accordance with Conti Bharosa as part of the partnership, while Indag will provide a warranty on the retreading procedure and the tread rubber on the NL fleets. After the pilot projects are finished, the programme will be implemented throughout all of India.

“Continental has always been focused on building sustainable mobility solutions," stated Samir Gupta, Head of Central Region for BA Tyres APAC and Managing Director of Continental Tyres India, at the occasion of the signing of the MoU.
