Demand for the next quarter continues to look strong, with an uptick in rural and personal mobility, and channel filling in preparation of ongoing festive demand.

Mr. Kumar Subbiah, CFO of CEAT Limited, said, “It has been a good quarter as we witnessed a significant uptick both in terms of Revenue and Margins.

The focus on overall cashflows helped to bring down the debt level during the quarter.”
