What Ceat Tyres Limited does

CEAT Tyres Limited, founded in 1958 and headquartered in Mumbai, is an Indian tyre manufacturer and the flagship company of the RPG Group conglomerate. The company is publicly listed on the NSE and BSE under the ticker CEAT and operates manufacturing facilities in India (notably Chennai and Nagpur) with an annual production capacity exceeding 41 million tyres. CEAT sells tyres across passenger vehicles, two-wheelers, scooters, commercial vehicles, and off-highway applications, with product families spanning SportDrive, SecuraDrive, Milaze, Gripp, Zoom, WinSuper/WinMile/WinLoad for commercial use, EnergyDrive EV for electric vehicles, and the acquired Camso brand for off-highway and agricultural equipment. Through the August 2023 acquisition of Tyresnmore.com and the late-2024 acquisition of Michelin's Camso off-highway business, CEAT extended into e-commerce aftermarket channels and into the EU and North American off-highway tyre and track segments.

The company generates revenue primarily through unit hardware sales of tyres to OEM automotive manufacturers, a replacement market network of 3,400+ active dealers and 400+ exclusive CEAT outlets across India, direct e-commerce via ceat.com, and international exports to over 110 countries. Major OEM customers include Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Honda, Mahindra, Toyota, MG, Royal Enfield, Bajaj, Hero, and TVS in India, and CNH, Bobcat, Doosan, Vermeer, and Prinoth in the off-highway segment via Camso. Manufacturing leverages Industry 4.0 automation, AI, and machine learning at the Chennai plant, which has received the World Economic Forum Lighthouse Designation, the first for any tyre brand globally. CEAT has also expanded into cricket equipment (bats, protective gear) under brands such as Hitman, Zoom, and Secura as a brand-extension marketing channel.

For FY26, CEAT reported revenue of approximately Rs 15,678 crore, consolidated net profit of Rs 813 crore (a near 70% year-over-year jump), and Q4 profit more than doubling to Rs 243.8 crore, with consolidated debt of Rs 3,011 crore at end of Q4 FY26 and capacity utilization exceeding 90%. Management has committed to Rs 4,500 crore of investment to expand the Chennai plant from 24,000 to 40,000 tyres per day by September 2027, plus an additional Rs 1,300 crore for passenger car radial capacity, with FY27 India capex of Rs 1,350-1,400 crore. The Camso acquisition targets $1 billion in annual revenue opportunity and 20% operating margins in the off-highway segment.
