Updated list of Tyres exempted from Mandatory Quality Control Order and BIS in India

The Government of India has released an updated Tyre Exemption List (September 2024), exempting 850 tyre sizes from BIS certification and Quality Control Orders (QCOs) due to the lack of domestic manufacturing. This move ensures uninterrupted supply for automobile manufacturers, importers, and specialty vehicle users.

Key Highlights of the Tyre Exemption List (September 2024)

1. Exemption of 850 Tyre Sizes

• The government has identified 850 tyre sizes that cannot be locally sourced and are therefore exempt from mandatory BIS certification under QCO regulations.
• These exemptions allow for continued imports without regulatory barriers, ensuring availability for industries and consumers.

2. Categories of Exempted Tyres

The list includes a wide range of tyre types across different vehicle segments:

Tyre Category	Application
Motorcycle Tyres (Bias & Radial)	High-performance & touring bikes
Passenger Car Tyres (Temporary & Regular Use)	SUVs, luxury cars, and economy sedans
Truck/Bus/LCV Tyres	Heavy-duty transport & logistics
Run-Flat Tyres	Premium and high-performance vehicles
Specialty Tyres	Industrial, military, and agricultural vehicles

3. BIS Certification Exemption & Compliance

• Exempted tyre sizes do not require BIS certification under India’s Quality Control Orders (QCOs).
• Some tyres have been temporarily exempted until specific deadlines, such as March 31, 2026, and August 31, 2026, after which further review may take place.

4. Impact on the Automotive & Tyre Industry

• Ensures continuous supply of tyres for automobile manufacturers and importers.
• Prevents shortages of specialized tyre sizes for luxury cars, motorcycles, trucks, and industrial vehicles.
• Supports businesses relying on non-standard tyre specifications, maintaining operational efficiency.
