If the Indian tyre industry is increasingly converging with the world in terms of practices, product quality and technology, the role of ITTAC cannot be overstated. As a steadfast ally of Indian Tyre Industry, ITTAC has achieved several milestones including:

• Development of Technical aspects of pneumatic tyres, tubes, rims and valves used in automotive vehicles in India.
• Alignment of National Standards with the ultimate aim of achieving inter-changeability of pneumatic tyres, rims and valves as far as fitting and use are concerned.
• Establishment of Engineering standards for tyres, tubes, rims and valves
• Preparation and publication of engineering norms and specifications.
• Setting up a robust information system for advising members about regulatory, legislation and National and International practices, which could have a bearing on the activities of member firms.
• Coordinating with National or International organisations whose objects are similar or complementary

For a tyre maker, India represents a challenging terrain. Road conditions in India have a wide spectrum from expressways to potholed lanes to unmetalled roads. Tyres are expected to perform equally well on all types of roads. Developing tyres for such varied conditions need robust standards and constant innovation in product development.  ITTAC, with the active collaboration of member companies, has helped frame standards that suit Indian conditions. Further, Tyres need to be standardised for optimum performance in all weather conditions since India is a vast country with varied climate as one travels from one zone to another. The standards developed by ITTAC take into consideration all such Indian realities.

India produces one of the largest varieties of tyres manufactured anywhere in the world. The road scenario of India is vastly diverse with ultramodern cars and primitive vehicles plying together. The Indian tyre industry has been developing tyres and standards for all needs. Even before a vehicle is launched, the tyre industry is ready with the customized and tested fitments and standards.
