India’s CEAT Ltd. has been awarded the Deming Grand Prize, making it the first tyre brand globally to receive this distinction in 2023. CEAT is one of only 33 companies worldwide to win this honour and the only tyre brand on a global stage. The Deming Grand Prize is an honor for organizations that have maintained and improved their Total Quality Management (TQM) practices for over three years.
