The stock price rallied as on Friday CEAT said it has entered into a definitive agreement with Michelin to acquire its Camso brand's off-highway tyres (OHT) and tracks business for about ₹225 million (about ₹1,905 crore).
The transaction, subject to regulatory approvals from relevant authorities, will include the business with revenues of around ₹213 million for CY 2023 and global ownership of the Camso brand, along with two manufacturing facilities, it said.
The company said that the demand conditions in India have been subdued for the past few months, which is evident in FMCG market growth.
Further, GCPL added that the weather conditions have not been supportive (delayed winters in the North and cyclones in South India) to the Home Insecticides (HI) segment, contributing ~1/3rd to its standalone business.
This has impacted HI category growths in the current quarter.
