Apollo Tryes has a 27 per cent market share of the Truck&Bus Radial (TBR) tyres in India.

With an aim to further increase the marketshare in the commercial vehicle tyre market to 33 per cent, Apollo Tyres has introduced three new TBRs, Apollo EnduRace RD HD, Apollo EnduMile LHD and Apollo EnduComfort CA.
