This new product is the sixth tractor tyre variant developed by CEAT Kelani Holdings in Sri Lanka. The company, which manufactures half of the country’s pneumatic tyre requirements, has made significant contributions to Sri Lanka’s economy by reducing reliance on imported tyres and conserving foreign exchange.
