The outlet offers Michelin's range of passenger car, SUV and two-wheeler tyres, including the Primacy, Pilot Sport, Latitude Sport and LTX Trail series. It also provides tyre-related services and automotive accessories, offering customers a one-stop destination for tyre sales, maintenance and vehicle care.

Commenting on the expansion, Shantanu Deshpande, Managing Director, Michelin India, said Kanpur is an important market in the company's North India growth strategy, driven by a strong automotive customer base and increasing demand for premium mobility products. He added that the company is preparing to introduce made-in-India passenger car tyres while continuing to expand access to its products and services.

Michelin said the expansion aligns with the city's growing infrastructure development, improved connectivity and increasing demand for premium automotive solutions. The company has partnered with HJ Wheels, an automotive aftermarket business established in 1989, to strengthen its retail presence in the region.
