Colombia was the largest importer of motorcycle tyres from India.
India's tyre exports during the first half of the financial year 2025 registered an 11.7% on-year growth as global demand for tyres remained in favour. India exported tyres worth Rs 12,131 crore in the April-September period, according to the data from the Ministry of Commerce.
