Kesoram Industries, a BK Birla group entity, had embarked on an exercise to restructure organisationally its tyres division Birla Tyres, director of the company Manjushree Khaitan said today.

"We are changing the current structure of Birla Tyres and a chief executive will be shortly appointed," Khaitan told reporters after the company's AGM here.

She said the division would go for a change in the product mix and would manufacture more car radials and two-wheeler tyres.

Regarding Kesoram, she said consultancy firm McKinsey had been appointed to chalk out a strategy for the company to improve profitability.
