Demand has been encouraging across geographies, driven by Agri segment on the back of favorable weather conditions in Europe, resolution of trade war in US and robust Rabi crop with a good monsoon forecast in India. After a weak volume in the month of April, there is a sharp recovery was seen in demand for the months of May and June for agriculture tyres due to good crop season and re-opening of economies in key European markets of Germany, France, Italy and Latvia.
