On July 02, 2025, tyre company stocks like Apollo Tyres, Balkrishna Industries, Ceat, MRF, JK Tyre & Industries, and TVS Srichakra climbed as much as 5% on the BSE in morning trading.

At 9:40 AM, the BSE Sensex was slightly up by 0.06% at 83,751.
Even though stocks rose today, Apollo Tyres, JK Tyre, and Ceat had been underperforming for the past month. These companies’ shares had fallen between 1% and 3% in the last 30 days, compared to a 3% rise in the benchmark index.

The tractor segment performed well thanks to expectations of an above-normal monsoon. However, rising raw material costs and price increases could still weigh on demand.
On input costs, Apollo Tyres management said that prices are expected to remain stable quarter-on-quarter in Q1 FY26. From Q2 FY26 onward, the benefit of falling crude oil-related costs should start to reflect in the financial results. However, the company also noted that natural rubber prices may stay high in the near term because the rainy season is starting. This period, known as the lean period, usually results in tighter rubber supplies.
