Feasibility Report Flags Tyre Pyrolysis as an Area of Interest in India
A feasibility report examining the setup of a tyre pyrolysis plant in India was reported by IMARC Group on 17 September 2026. No promoter, project value, capacity, location or timeline was disclosed in the available headline. The report signals continued attention to waste-tyre processing as a segment within India's broader rubber and rubber products industry.
Tyre pyrolysis involves the thermal decomposition of end-of-life tyres to recover fuel oil, carbon black and steel, making it relevant to suppliers active in thermal processing equipment, materials handling and industrial plant engineering.

Where India's Rubber Sector Activity Is Concentrated
Projects India tracks 86 projects in the Rubber & Rubber Products sub-sector, with one project added in the last 90 days. The geographic spread of these projects points clearly to where suppliers and contractors are most likely to find active work.
- Gujarat: 23 projects — the single largest concentration, reflecting the state's established chemicals and manufacturing base.
- Andhra Pradesh: 14 projects, including active construction at Sri City.
- Maharashtra: 12 projects, with activity noted around Pune.
- Tamil Nadu: 10 projects.
- Telangana: 6 projects.
- Haryana: 5 projects.
Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh together account for more than 43 per cent of all tracked projects in this sub-sector, making them priority geographies for equipment suppliers, civil contractors and engineering firms seeking rubber-sector mandates.
Stage Breakdown: Where Projects Stand Right Now
Of the 86 tracked projects, the stage distribution reveals a pipeline at varying degrees of readiness:
- Completed: 25 projects
- Under Approvals: 21 projects — representing near-term opportunity as these move toward construction
- Construction Started: 21 projects — active sites requiring immediate supplier engagement
- Hold: 5 projects
- Approvals Received: 4 projects — likely to enter construction shortly
- Planning: 4 projects
With 21 projects under construction and a further 25 at approvals or approvals-received stages, a significant share of the tracked pipeline is either actively buying or approaching that point. Suppliers in process equipment, civil works, electrical systems and safety infrastructure should note the combined weight of these two bands.
Recent Projects Tracked Across the Sub-Sector
Among the projects Projects India currently monitors, several large-scale investments are already in construction. Balkrishna Industries Limited's highway tyres expansion at Bhuj, Gujarat carries a reported value of Rs 1,300 crore and has commenced construction. Apcotex Industries Limited has two projects under way in Bharuch, Gujarat — a synthetic rubber and latex manufacturing expansion valued at Rs 210 crore and a second synthetic rubber unit for which a value has not been recorded. Apollo Tyres' manufacturing unit at Sri City, Andhra Pradesh, promoted by MWM Spaces Private Limited, is also under construction at Rs 30.31 crore.
At the approvals stage, Jai Malhar Enterprises is developing a Rs 105 crore rubber moulded components unit in Talegaon, Pune, Maharashtra. Kalyani Enterprises has received approvals for a Rs 16 crore footwear manufacturing unit in Vijayapura, Karnataka. ALP Nishikawa Company Private Limited has a Rs 35 crore rubber unit in Lalru, Rupnagar, Punjab listed under approvals, with a second entry at the same location currently on hold.
What this means for suppliers and contractors
The publication of a tyre pyrolysis feasibility report, taken alongside the broader pipeline tracked by Projects India, underlines that the rubber products sector continues to generate capital project activity across multiple segments — from large tyre manufacturing expansions to smaller moulded-components and footwear units.
For suppliers of pyrolysis reactors, condensing systems, carbon black processing equipment or turnkey plant engineering, a feasibility study is typically an early-stage signal; procurement and contractor engagement generally follow once promoter identity and location are confirmed. Monitoring for any subsequent environmental clearance filings or land acquisition activity in Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra — the three most active states in this sub-sector — would be a practical next step.
Contractors already working in the rubber and chemicals corridor of Gujarat, where 23 projects are tracked, are best placed to respond quickly if this project progresses to tendering. Live tenders across industrial projects can be monitored for related procurement notices. The full pipeline across India's industrial projects sector is available for reference, and all tracked projects can be filtered by stage, state and sub-sector to identify the most relevant opportunities.
Frequently asked questions
What is a tyre pyrolysis plant and why is it relevant in India?
A tyre pyrolysis plant thermally decomposes end-of-life tyres to recover fuel oil, carbon black and steel. India's large and growing tyre industry generates significant waste-tyre volumes, making pyrolysis an area of increasing feasibility interest for investors and industrial project developers.
How many rubber and rubber products projects are tracked in India?
Projects India currently tracks 86 projects in the Rubber & Rubber Products sub-sector. Of these, 21 are under construction, 21 are under approvals, and 4 have received approvals, indicating a substantial active and near-term pipeline.
Which states have the most rubber sector project activity in India?
Gujarat leads with 23 tracked projects, followed by Andhra Pradesh with 14 and Maharashtra with 12. Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Haryana also feature, together accounting for the majority of rubber and rubber products project activity across India.
Who is behind the tyre pyrolysis plant feasibility report in India?
The feasibility report on tyre pyrolysis plant setup in India was reported by IMARC Group on 17 September 2026. No promoter, client, location, project value or capacity has been disclosed in the available information.
