CEAT Limited has announced the approval for incorporating two new international subsidiaries as part of its strategic expansion into European markets. The Finance and Banking Committee of the Board of Directors approved these proposals during a meeting held on December 23, 2025, which commenced at 4:45 p.m. IST and concluded at 5:03 p.m. IST.

UK Subsidiary Incorporation

The company will establish CEAT UK Limited as a wholly owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom. This new entity will focus on automotive tyres, tubes, flaps, tracks, assembly, and other ancillary and related products.

The initial capital will be infused in one or more tranches, in accordance with applicable local laws and requirements. The incorporation process will now be initiated following the board approval.

German Operations Through Step-Down Structure

CEAT has also approved the incorporation of CEAT GMBH in Germany as a step-down subsidiary. This entity will operate under a structured ownership model through the company's existing Netherlands subsidiary.

The German subsidiary will be wholly owned by CEAT Tyres B.V. Netherlands, which is itself a wholly owned subsidiary of CEAT Limited. This structure will enable the company to leverage its existing European operations while expanding into the German market.

Strategic Business Expansion

Both subsidiaries will engage in comprehensive automotive-related activities including:

• Manufacturing and distribution of automotive tyres and tubes
• Production of flaps and tracks
• Assembly operations
• Product development and research activities
• Other ancillary and related products and services

The German entity will additionally focus on product development and R&D activities, indicating CEAT's commitment to innovation in its European operations. No specific governmental or regulatory approvals are required for the German incorporation, while the UK entity will follow standard incorporation procedures.

Financial Structure and Implementation

The company has outlined a phased approach to capital infusion for both entities. The funding will be provided in accordance with applicable local laws and requirements in respective jurisdictions. This measured approach allows CEAT to manage its international expansion efficiently while ensuring compliance with local regulations.

These incorporations represent CEAT's continued focus on expanding its global footprint in the automotive tyres segment, building upon its existing international presence through strategic subsidiary establishments in key European markets.

CEAT Limited has announced a name change for its Netherlands-based wholly owned subsidiary, effective December 18, 2025. The tire manufacturer informed stock exchanges about this corporate development as part of its regulatory compliance obligations.

Subsidiary Name Change Details

The company's subsidiary operating in Netherlands has undergone a name modification from its previous designation to a simplified version. This change represents an administrative update in the company's international subsidiary structure.

Regulatory Compliance

CEAT Limited communicated this development to both major Indian stock exchanges in adherence to regulatory requirements. The notification was sent to BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited under the provisions of SEBI regulations.

The intimation was made pursuant to Regulation 30 and 51 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, along with other applicable regulations. This ensures transparency and keeps stakeholders informed about material changes in the company's subsidiary structure.

Corporate Structure Impact

The name change from CEAT Specialty Tyres B.V. to CEAT Tyres B.V. represents a streamlining of the subsidiary's identity while maintaining its operational status as a wholly owned entity of CEAT Limited. This administrative modification does not alter the ownership structure or business operations of the Netherlands-based subsidiary.

The company secretary Gaurav Tongia signed the official communication to stock exchanges, confirming the subsidiary name change and ensuring proper documentation of this corporate development for regulatory and investor records.
