    Think aheadto even out the odds

    CEATs objective is to think ahead o its customers to deliver

    better value, even in a resource-scarce environment. As a part

    o this strategy, we oten question conventional approaches,think laterally and revisit old strategies.

    Opposed to conventional thinking, micro

    ocus sometimes yields mega beneits. We

    take a minute look at every aspect o the

    organisation or opportunities to get better.

    Each and every process and product at CEAT

    is approved by appropriate certiication. CEAT

    is Indias irst organisation to get the ISO/TS

    16949:2002 certiication by the International

    Automotive Task Force (IATF) and JapanAutomobile Manuacturers Association. This

    certiication ensures quality management and

    a smooth supply chain, minimising anomalies

    and wastage.

    CEATs advanced technology leverage and

    high-end research and development enhance

    the on-road pleasure o end customers.

    The tyres are tested or best endurance

    and perormance, and are accredited by

    the Department o Scientiic and Industrial

    Research (DSIR).

    For CEAT, customers are more than product

    buyers; they are also part o the society we

    live and cherish. Our Be Idiotsae campaign

    enhances awareness on road saety and helps

    create a mass movement against unsae road

    conditions created by rash drivers. CEAT bike

    tyres with superior grip are positioned as a part

    o this pervasive campaign against road idiots.

    The Be Idiotsae advertisement was ranked

    as the ourth best advertisement by redimail

    ater Vodaone, Volkswagen and Cadburys.

    Besides, CEAT Cricket rating enjoys wide

    acceptance, reinorcing the brand globally.

    In order to enhance visibility signiicantly, the organisation is ocusing on capacity enhancement

    o its current manuacturing units in India. Besides, the Halol plant in Gujarat has also commenced

    operation. The plants advanced technology will help enhance the production o radial tyres,

    which has an immense market potential.

    We have also acquired the CEAT brand rom Pirelli & C. SpA or 9 million Euro. The acquisition will

    help CEAT enter new markets, such as Latin America, Europe and the US in the radial tyre segment.

    Further, it allows CEAT to outsource tyres rom any country under the CEAT brand.

    We sponsor multiple youth-ocused television programmes (MTV Roadies, MTV Roadies Battle Ground, MTV Stunt

    Mania and Khatron Ke Khiladi) to make the brand relevant to Indian Youth, who comprise around 50% o the

    population. This diferentiated branding has enabled CEAT to gain enhanced eye share and higher recall in India.

    Besides, CEATs long association with cricket has endeared it to a cricket-obsessed nation like India; and even to

    the young people o other cricket-loving nations globally.

    CEAT Tyre Retread Centre

    CEAT Hub & CEAT Shoppe

    Spiralling rubber prices made it imperative or truck owners to seek new ways to get the

    most out o the old tyre. Retreads are signiicantly cheaper than new tyres. CEAT has

    truck owners through the CEAT Tyre Retread Centres (CTRC).

    CEAT is ocusing on a pan-India presence or CTRCs, with an initial target o launching 90

    Tyre Retread Centres by the end o FY11-12. In terms o Pre-cured Tread Rubber

    (PCTR) volume, it aims to achieve sales o around 140 tonnes by the end o this iscal.

    To provide a platorm or direct customer interaction and oer quality products and services,

    CEAT has launched a one-stop tyre shop called CEAT HUB (or Truck and LCV tyres)

    and CEAT Shoppe (or passenger cars). These retail outlets act as a suitable platorm

    to attract new customers, and also exert control over distribution networks.

    The number o Hubs has increased to 335 in the current year, compared with 265 in

    the previous year. Similarly, the number o CEAT Shoppes is expected to touch 200,

    including those in Tier II and Tier III cities.

    At RPG Group CSR is not a random list. We embrace responsibility or the Companys actions and encourage

    positive impact through core business operations. Our deliberate promotion and inclusion o public interest

    seeks to honour the triple bottom line: people, planet and proit. This culture is relected notably at CEAT.

    The year-round stakeholder priorities at CEAT cover workplace, community, and environment. Through our social

    programmes, we strengthen our ties with the people we touch.

    From the various activities CEAT conducted during the last one year, we pick some that relect our values and bear direct

    signiicance to the society.

    Sustainability or triple bottom line is incomplete

    without active eorts to preserve natures

    elements and conserve natural resources.

    CEAT commemorated World Environment

    Day at the Bhandup Plant by distributing

    badges, organising art competitions or

    employee children, tree plantation and a

    screening o the documentary The

    Inconvenient Truth. CFL distribution

    cells were also set up or employees

    so they could switch to energy conserving

    illumination at highly subsidised prices.
