    CEAT Falls Nearly 7%; Q1 FY27 Net Profit Drops to ₹4 Crore

    CEAT share price was trading at ₹3,581 as of 12:45 PM on July 17, 2026, down 7% for the day, making it one of the steepest single-session declines since March 2026. The stock touched an intraday high of ₹3,654.30 and a low of ₹3,471.10. Trading volume stood at 11 lakh shares, considerably higher than the 30-day average volume of 2 lakh shares, pointing to heavy participation on the day the company released its first-quarter results for FY27.

    Revenue Grows by 22% YoY

    On a consolidated basis, revenue from operations rose 22% YoY to ₹4,318 crore in Q1 FY27, compared to ₹3,529 crore a year earlier. Total income for the quarter came in at ₹4,324 crore against ₹3,534 crore in Q1 FY26.

    Consolidated net profit for the quarter came in at ₹4 crore, down sharply from ₹112 crore in Q1 FY26 and ₹244 crore in Q4 FY26. The compression in bottom-line performance was largely driven by a surge in raw material costs, leaving the EBITDA margin at 8.56% for the quarter.

    Capacity Running Near Full at Nagpur

    Even as near-term profitability faced pressure, the board of directors approved a significant capital expenditure plan at its meeting on July 16, 2026. The company approved an investment of approximately ₹1,205 crore to expand two-wheeler tyre manufacturing capacity. According to the company’s regulatory filing, the Nagpur plant is currently running at approximately 95% of its installed capacity for two-wheeler tyres, with existing production at around 80,000 tyres per day.

    The approved expansion will add approximately 53,000 tyres per day, to be implemented progressively in phases and completed by the end of FY31. The investment may take the form of greenfield or brownfield capacity, subject to internal assessment, and will be funded through a mix of internal accruals and debt.

    About CEAT Limited

    CEAT Limited, a flagship company of the RPG Group, is one of India's leading tyre manufacturers. Established in 1958, the company produces more than 41 million tyres annually across segments including two and three-wheelers, passenger vehicles, utility vehicles, commercial vehicles, and off-highway applications. It maintains a presence in both domestic and global markets.

    The Q1 FY27 results depict a clear divergence between top-line expansion and bottom-line delivery. While revenue grew steadily, surging operational costs compressed net profit down to ₹4 crore. However, the long-term outlook remains focused on capacity building, highlighted by the sanctioning of the ₹1,205 crore capex for the two-wheeler segment.
