However, the weak performance of the agricultural sector has impacted tractor sales, contributing to the overall challenges faced by the company in the quarter.
The decline in commercial vehicle sales has impacted tyremaker Goodyear India, leading to a fourth-quarter loss. The company's standalone net loss for the three months ending March 31 was reported at USD 42.1 million rupees, a significant drop from the USD 336.1 million rupees profit recorded in the same period last year.

This downturn was primarily attributed to reduced sales of commercial vehicles such as tractors and trucks, as well as a delay in vehicle refurbishments by customers.

According to industry data, commercial vehicle sales in India decreased by 3.8% year-over-year in the March quarter. While ancillary companies have been benefiting from strong automobile demand, Goodyear India highlighted its significant business share with farm equipment manufacturers.
