GTR Tyres Receive Gulf Standardization Organization Approval
Ghandhara Tyre and Rubber Company Limited has secured official certification from the Gulf Standardization Organization (GSO), allowing its GTR Tyres brand to export products to six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member countries.
The company disclosed the development to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on August 3, 2026, in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.
Certification Opens Access to Six Gulf Markets
The GSO certification covers the company’s tyre products and enables exports to the following Gulf countries:
- Bahrain
- Kuwait
- Oman
- Qatar
- Saudi Arabia
- United Arab Emirates
The approval confirms that GTR Tyres meet the common quality and technical standards required across GCC markets, creating new opportunities for the company to expand its international footprint.
Company Calls Certification a Major Milestone
In its notification, Ghandhara Tyre described the certification as an important milestone in its export strategy.
The company said the approval reflects its continued commitment to expanding its export portfolio while entering new international markets with products that meet globally recognised quality standards.
Management added that it remains focused on strengthening its position in the international tyre industry by maintaining compliance with global manufacturing and safety requirements.
Export Strategy Gains Momentum
The GSO certification is expected to support Ghandhara Tyre’s broader strategy of increasing overseas sales and diversifying its customer base beyond Pakistan.
Access to Gulf markets could provide the company with additional revenue opportunities, particularly as demand for quality automotive products continues to grow across the GCC region. By meeting the unified regulatory standards required by Gulf countries, GTR Tyres can market its products more efficiently across multiple destinations without undergoing separate certification processes for each country.
Certification Strengthens International Expansion Plans
The latest approval highlights Ghandhara Tyre’s efforts to position itself as a competitive exporter in regional and international markets. As Pakistani manufacturers increasingly focus on export-led growth, internationally recognised certifications such as GSO approval can play an important role in improving market access and enhancing buyer confidence.
With exports now approved for six Gulf countries, the company is well positioned to strengthen its presence in one of Pakistan’s key regional export markets while continuing to build its reputation for producing tyres that meet international quality standards.
