Arnab Banerjee, MD and CEO, CEAT Limited, said, "We have maintained strong double-digit growth this quarter, with revenue rising by approximately 12%. One of the key developments in this quarter has been a reduction in GST rates on tyres and vehicles, which we hope will have a positive impact on demand across domestic categories.

We have also been excited with Camso fully integrating into the CEAT family, effective Sept, marking a significant milestone in our global premiumisation strategy. Looking ahead, with a positive growth momentum, we look forward to double-digit growth in the second half of the year."

Kumar Subbiah, CFO of CEAT, said, "Overall, Q2 has been a strong quarter for us, marked by topline growth and expansion of margins. Our debt has increased largely due to the acquisition of Camso’s assets and the payout of dividends. Our balance sheet continues to be healthy even after the increase in debt level and is well-positioned to provide necessary capital to support future growth."
