Mumbai – In a move that will make both cars and customers roll smoother, CEAT Limited has announced a price reduction across its entire tyre portfolio, passing on the full benefits of the Government’s recent Goods and Services Tax (GST) reform. Effective September 22nd, 2025, buying tyres will no longer be a “puncturing” experience for your finances.
The 56th GST Council meeting recently hit the brakes on inflated tax rates, cutting GST on new pneumatic tyres from 28% to 18% and tractor tyres and tubes from 28% to a mere 5%. That’s good news whether you’re steering a tractor across fields, cruising in a sedan, or wobbling on a scooter—your tyres just got more affordable.
Arnab Banerjee, Managing Director & CEO, CEAT Limited, put the benefits in gear:
“We thank the Government of India and the GST Council for their timely and progressive decision. The reduced GST slabs will greatly benefit the tyre industry and consumers alike. Not only will it lower the cost of owning and operating vehicles, but by making tyres more affordable to replace, it will also make our roads safer. All in all, this move will spur compliance and foster sustainable growth.”
Key Highlights:
- 100% of GST benefits passed on to channels and customers.
- New pricing effective September 22, 2025.
- Applicable across commercial, agricultural, passenger vehicle, and two-wheeler tyres.
- Tyres are finally getting the “grip” they deserve on affordability.
So, the next time you hear that “tyres are expensive”, CEAT wants you to remember: the only thing inflated should be your tyre pressure, not the price.
