Ceat, the tyre manufacturer under RPG Group, reported a remarkable net profit of ₹243 crore for the fourth quarter of the financial year 2025-26 (FY26), more than doubling from the previous year. Revenue from operations also saw a significant increase of 23.3%, reaching ₹4,218 crore. The growth is attributed to a strong operating performance, particularly from international markets, and the successful integration of Camso into its portfolio. For the entire fiscal year, Ceat's revenue surpassed ₹15,000 crore, with notable market share gains in both replacement and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) segments. However, the company anticipates challenges ahead due to a sharp rise in raw material prices, which could pressure profit margins. Managing Director and CEO Arnab Banerjee noted that while demand remains robust, the impact of rising costs on margins is concerning. Ceat has already initiated a 5% price increase to counter these costs, with plans for an additional increase in the coming months. Despite these pricing adjustments, the company acknowledges that the pass-through effect is often delayed, which could affect demand and margins in the near term. Ceat remains focused on balancing pricing strategies with market competitiveness to sustain growth.
