The four outlets cover locations across the city, including Jubilee Hills and Saroornagar, as well as Gandimaisamma and Kompally in emerging residential and logistics corridors. Michelin said the expansion is intended to improve access to its tyre products and services in Hyderabad and the company said the outlets have been developed in line with its global retail standards, with dedicated service bays, advanced equipment and customer waiting areas.
The Local Dealers Behind Each Outlet
Rather than running these as purely company-owned showrooms, Michelin has partnered with established local dealers for each location and the tenure of these partners is worth noting. The Jubilee Hills outlet has opened in partnership with Wheel O City, a dealer that's been serving customers for nearly 17 years. The Saroornagar store is run with Vigneshwara Wheels, established in 2013, expanding Michelin's presence in that residential area.
The Gandimaisamma outlet has opened with Sachin Tyres, another partner with 17 years of experience, while the Kompally store is run in partnership with Lambodara Tyres, established in 2012. Leaning on dealers with this kind of local track record is a fairly sensible way to expand quickly without having to build brand trust from scratch in each neighbourhood.
The Jubilee Hills and Gandimaisamma outlets were inaugurated by Benjamin Coesnon, Marketing Director B2C at Michelin India, while the Saroornagar and Kompally outlets were inaugurated by Kunal Doshi, SP Director at Michelin India.

Why Michelin Is Betting on Hyderabad Specifically
Michelin India managing director Shantanu Deshpande said the company considers Hyderabad an important market as urban development, infrastructure expansion and premium vehicle demand continue to increase. He added that the four outlets are part of Michelin's broader effort to expand both its retail network and its Made-in-India passenger vehicle tyre portfolio.
It's worth being clear that this particular expansion is centred on passenger car tyres and retail service points, not commercial vehicle tyres specifically. Michelin's Chennai plant, however, continues to manufacture and export truck and bus tyres alongside its passenger car range, so the broader Michelin tyre ecosystem serving trucks, buses and smaller commercial vehicles like mini trucks and pickups remains active in parallel to this Hyderabad retail expansion.
