Ceat Q4 results: Net profit falls 3% to Rs 99 cr; revenue at Rs 3,421 cr
Tyre maker Ceat on Tuesday said its consolidated net profit declined by 3 per cent to Rs 99 crore for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2025.
The company had reported a net profit of Rs 102 crore in the January-March quarter of 2023-24.
Its revenue from operations rose to Rs 3,421 crore in the fourth quarter compared to Rs 2,992 crore in the year-ago period, Ceat Ltd said in a regulatory filing.
For the year ended March 2025, the company said its net profit declined 26 per cent to Rs 471 crore against Rs 635 crore.
The revenue from operations rose to Rs 13,218 crore from Rs 11,943 crore in FY24.
"Our operating margins improved in Q4 by over 120bps, largely driven by favourable revenue mix and result of strong cost controls across the value chain," Ceat CFO Kumar Subbiah said.
The company incurred capex of Rs 946 crore during the year largely for capacity additions that would prepare it well to deliver growth plans in FY26, he added.
"During the quarter, we incurred Rs 37 crore towards voluntary separation of employees in one of our high-cost factories as part of our continuous effort to keep our manufacturing units cost competitive," Subbiah said.
The company said its board has approved a dividend of Rs 30 (300 per cent) per share for FY24-25.
Shares of the company on Tuesday ended 0.48 per cent up at Rs 3,061.40 apiece on BSE.

Trinity's chariot parts to be auctioned at higher prices after Rath Yatra this year: SJTA
BHUBANESWAR: Devotees or organisations who wish to own a piece of the three chariots of the Trinity - Nandighosa, Debadalana and Taladhwaja - after the Rath Yatra will have to pay more this year. The prices have been significantly increased owing to the rising demand for the wooden wheels and decorative panels of the three chariots from devotees, organisations and industrial houses. The Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) recently released an expression of interest and prepared a standard operating procedure (SOP) for allotment of the wheels, 'prabha', 'kona guja' and 'asuari' of the three chariots. The temple administration has fixed the offset (base) price for auction of each wheel of Lord Balabhadra's Taladhwaja at Rs 2 lakh, while it is Rs 1.5 lakh per wheel of Devi Subhadra's Debadalana and Rs 3 lakh per wheel of Lord Jagannath's Nandighosa. The base price for one wheel each of all the three chariots has been set at Rs 6 lakh. Similarly, while the price of 'prabha' of each chariot is Rs 25,000 each, that of both 'guja' and 'asuari' is Rs 15,000 each, this year. The cost of 'guja' and 'asuari' have also been increased by Rs 5,000 compared to last year.

Triumph 400, KTM 390 Duke Get 10-Year Warranty, Restrictions Apply
Bajaj has now presented a 10-year warranty for the Triumph 400s and the KTM 390 Duke in India. Looking at the market trends, most sub-500cc Bajaj models come with a 2-year or 3-year warranty. However, Bajaj has announced a new 10-year warranty, keeping in mind a seamless driving and service experience for its customers. Though there are selected models that get the decade-long warranty, they include the Triumph Speed 400, Scrambler 400 X, Speed T4, the recently launched Scrambler 400 XC, and the KTM 390 Duke. KTM 390 Duke It must be noted that Bajaj manufactures the entry-level Triumph and KTM bikes in the country. Also, the Indian two-wheeler brand looks after the sales and after-sales responsibility for Triumph and KTM in India. Earlier, the Triumph 400 series and the KTM 390 Duke used to get a 5-year standard warranty. However, with the new policy, prospective customers can avail an extended 5-year warranty without extra costs. But here's a catch- the extended warranty is only valid till 30th June 2025. The Triumph 400 series gets a 398cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. It gives out 31 hp and 36 Nm of peak torque for the Speed T4. However, the same engine churns out a peak power and torque output of 40 hp and 37.5 Nm, respectively, for the Speed 400, Scrambler 400X, and Scrambler 400XC. Triumph 400s get a 10-year warranty The KTM 390 Duke has a 399cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that works in conjunction with a six-speed gearbox and propels a peak power and torque output of 46 hp and 39 Nm, respectively. The prices of the KTM 390 Duke start from Rs 2.97 lakh (ex-showroom). Whereas, the price of the most affordable motorcycle in Triumph's 400cc lineup- the Speed T4 starts from Rs 1.99 lakh (ex-showroom).

RBI Cuts Repo Rate To 5.50%: What This Means
Mumbai: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced a 50 basis-point repo rate cut to 5.50 per cent this week - from the earlier 6 per cent. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra declared the higher-than-expected repo rate cut after the RBI MPC meeting. This is the third consecutive rate reduction since February. The repo rate cut means the loan interest must also fall if it's repo-linked. The repo rate is the interest rate at which the RBI lends money to commercial banks. A reduction in this rate makes borrowing cheaper for banks, which in turn allows them to offer loans to customers at lower interest rates. This directly impacts borrowers, especially those with home loans linked to repo-based lending rates (RBLR). An X user and an expert, Vivek Khatri, explained the implications of the repo rate cut and what to do about it. According to Mr Khatri, the repo rate cut to 5.50 per cent means that if a person has a Rs 50 lakh loan, they can save Rs 1,569 per month, Rs 18,828 per year, and Rs 2.6 lakh in loan tenure. However, the twist is that there are only 90 days to claim it. "Your bank won't remind you. Most people will miss it and lose lakhs. Don't be one of them," he said. He also noted the list of steps to take to make sure the loan interest is repo-linked. Step 1: Ask the question Ask the bank if the loan is linked to the repo rate or the Marginal Cost of Funds based Lending Rate (MCLR). If the loan is on MCLR or fixed rate, the rate drop can take up to six to 12 months. In this case, the bank has full control with no fixed reset rule, Mr Khatri said. "If the answer is repo-linked, then proceed. If MCLR, ask if it can be switched to repo-linked and what are the charges," he said. Step 2: Find the reset date According to Mr Khatri, the repo-linked loans reset every three months, but not instantly after the RBI policy. In case of missing the reset date, file a complaint online on (Select Bank - Loan/EMI - Interest Rate Issue) Step: Calculate EMI drop The expert urged people to calculate the EMI drop using the RBI's EMI calculator. When will RBI cut repo rate again? Mr Khatri, in his post, said that the latest repo rate cut took place because of the below target 4.5 per cent inflation, GDP of 6.7 per cent in Q1 FY26, and a healthy liquidity. If the inflation stays low, the next repo rate cut may take place in August, he said.
