Rural demand for two-wheeler tyres in the replacement segment is yet to see a complete revival but there is optimism that the festive season will give it a fillip, according to CEAT Ltd MD & CEO Arnab Banerjee. With crude prices rising again after the recent geopolitical disturbance, there is uncertainty over crude-based raw material costs and if prices increase it could be a dampener to future growth. "The two-wheeler replacement market is growing year-on-year in strong single digits, which is much much different from quarter one. However, we are yet to see a complete revival in rural demand," Banerjee told PTI. On the challenges in the rural market, he said while monsoon has been good in several parts of the country it was patchy and most of East and North East India didn't get good monsoon. Usually in Q2 demand dips in Q2 because of monsoon but it has not happened, he said adding, "So the market is in a similar state. It has not accelerated yet. Banerjee, however, said in the .
