|October 18, 2025
TYRE MAKER CEAT is expanding capacity at all its plants to meet the surge in demand for tyres across categories following the cut in Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates, helping consumers have greater disposal incomes.
GST on tyres have been reduced to 18% and 5% on pneumatic tyres and tractor tyres, respectively from September 22. The industry witnessed a sharp reduction in raw material prices during the September quarter.
Speaking to FE, Arnab Banerjee, managing director and CEO, Ceat said,"Raw material prices have come down by 5% as against the June quarter, which is significant. Net sales realisation has gone up particularly in replacement and international segments."
