Michelin India has launched a new Michelin Tyres and Services store in Kanpur in partnership with HJ Wheels in Harsh Nagar, as part of the company’s ongoing network expansion in Uttar Pradesh. The new outlet makes Michelin’s full range of passenger car, SUV, and two-wheeler tyres available to customers in the city and surrounding areas, alongside tyre-related services and automotive accessories under one roof.
The store carries Michelin’s Primacy, Pilot Sport, Latitude Sport, and LTX Trail tyre series, and is designed to offer a premium, customer-centric retail experience in line with Michelin’s focus on safety, innovation, and performance.
Mr. Shantanu Deshpande, Managing Director of Michelin India, said: “Kanpur is a pivotal market in Michelin’s North India growth journey with a strong automotive customer base and a growing interest in premium products. The launch of our new Michelin Tyre and Services store is a step towards bringing Michelin’s globally benchmarked products and services closer to this growing base of discerning customers. As we prepare to introduce Made-in-India passenger car tyres, we remain focused on delivering premium mobility solutions tailored to the evolving needs of Indian consumers.”
Kanpur is one of India’s oldest industrial cities and is witnessing renewed growth through new expressway connectivity, expanding electric and advanced manufacturing activity, and large-scale urban development. Michelin has partnered with HJ Wheels, a trusted name in Kanpur’s automotive aftermarket since 1989, known for its technical expertise and customer-first approach. The partnership aligns with Michelin’s broader strategy of working with established local experts to deliver high-quality mobility solutions across India’s growing urban markets.
