Ceat Reports 23% Revenue Growth and Higher Profit Amid Raw Material Cost Pressures

Ceat Ltd. reported a 23% year-on-year revenue increase to over Rs 4,200 crore and a net profit rise to approximately Rs 244 crore in Q4 FY26, driven by growth in higher-margin segments and international business. Operating margins expanded due to favorable product mix and scale benefits. However, the company anticipates near-term margin pressures from rising raw material costs, including crude oil and natural rubber, and has initiated price hikes to mitigate these impacts while continuing capacity expansion.
