Birla Tyre has launched a new brand identity featuring a redesigned logo and corporate website, marking a significant step in the company's transformation under new ownership. The rebranding initiative comes as the tire manufacturer operates under a consortium led by Himadri Speciality Chemical and Dalmia Refractories, which acquired the company from its previous owners.
The new visual identity centers around a custom wordmark designed to represent speed and forward motion, accompanied by a tiger mascot called "Tyger" that the company says symbolizes power, agility, and leadership. The logo incorporates blue and orange colors, reflecting what the company describes as trust and optimism.
A company spokesperson stated that the rebranding represents more than visual changes, calling it "a reaffirmation of our dedication to purposeful development and progress." The spokesperson emphasized that the new identity reflects three core elements: the company's legacy, future-ready products, and commitment to innovation.
The brand refresh forms part of Birla Tyre's broader strategy to reposition itself in both Indian and international markets. The company plans to launch marketing campaigns across digital, television, print, and outdoor advertising platforms in the coming months to strengthen brand recognition and reach both existing and new customers.
Under the new ownership structure, Birla Tyre has received fresh capital and undergone operational restructuring. The company now aims to re-enter key markets, expand its distribution network, and develop products that align with current mobility trends and consumer preferences.
Birla Tyre has historically been recognized as one of India's established tire manufacturers, particularly in commercial and off-road vehicle segments. The company built its reputation on quality and durability before facing challenges that led to the ownership change. The new promoters are now focusing on reviving the brand through innovation and expanded market presence.
The transformation reflects broader consolidation trends in India's tire industry, where companies are seeking to strengthen their market positions through strategic investments and brand repositioning. Birla Tyre's rebranding represents an attempt to leverage its existing market recognition while adapting to evolving automotive sector demands.
