Commenting on the results as well as the outlook of the business, Mr. Anant Goenka, Managing Director, CEAT Limited said, “We are witnessing a recovery in the market, particularly in the replacement and commercial tyre categories. Our international business continues to outperform and we expect it to drive growth in the coming year as well. Margins, however, continue to be under pressure due to rising commodity prices, and other inflationary costs. I am hopeful with Covid restrictions easing in the country, an uptick in GST collections and an improved business sentiment, we can expect a better FY23 for the business.”
