Commenting on company's performance, Anant Goenka, MD of Ceat, said, This quarter's growth has been achieved on the back of new capacities across segments, particularly passenger car, two-wheeler and farm segments. The Replacement market has been buoyant because of consumer preference in personal mobility and strong rural demand. All our factories are currently operating at high capacity levels and we are confident in maintaining strong growth levels over the next few months. There is expected to be some margin pressure in the next quarter due to increasing raw material prices.
