Tyre maker Ceat on Thursday said its consolidated net profit rose 15.06 per cent to Rs 82.2 crore for the first quarter ended June 30, 2019.

The company had reported a net profit of Rs 71.44 crore during April-June, 2018-19. Revenue from operations rose to Rs 1,752.10 crore as compared with Rs 1,722.03 crore in the year-ago period.
