Asian Paints Q4 Profit Surges 69% To ₹1,172 Crore On Strong Decorative Paint Demand

Asian Paints reported a strong financial performance for the fourth quarter of FY26, with consolidated net profit rising 69.3 percent year on year to ₹1,172.1 crore. The growth was supported by robust demand across its decorative paints business, improved operating efficiency and a favourable base effect due to an exceptional item recorded in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year.

India’s largest paint manufacturer posted net sales of ₹9,246.7 crore during the quarter, registering a growth of 10.6 percent compared to the same period last year. The company’s decorative paints business in India continued to be the key growth driver, recording volume growth of 12.4 percent and value growth of 10.2 percent.

Asian Paints also witnessed encouraging traction in its international operations. Revenue from international markets increased 11 percent to ₹888.1 crore, supported by improved performance in Sri Lanka, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates. The company said its overseas portfolio continued to deliver resilient growth despite volatility in certain global markets.

Profit before interest, depreciation and tax stood at ₹1,983.2 crore, reflecting a growth of 44.1 percent over the previous year. The industrial coatings segment also contributed positively to the company’s performance, delivering volume growth of 12.7 percent and value growth of 11 percent during the quarter.

Commenting on the results, Managing Director and CEO Amit Syngle said the company achieved double digit volume and value growth along with margin expansion during the quarter. He noted that operational efficiencies, disciplined cost management and lower raw material costs helped strengthen profitability while the company continued investing in long-term growth initiatives.

Asian Paints also highlighted steady progress in its home décor business through the Beautiful Homes Store network, which is now present across 20 states in India.

Looking ahead, the company remains cautiously optimistic despite global uncertainties linked to geopolitical tensions in West Asia. Management believes strong fundamentals, operational discipline and brand leadership will help sustain growth momentum in the coming quarters.
