Berger Paints Q4 Profit Jumps 28% to ₹335 Crore on Strong Margin Growth

Berger Paints India posted a strong performance in the fourth quarter of FY26, reporting a 27.75 percent increase in consolidated net profit to ₹334.77 crore. The company managed to deliver robust earnings growth despite recording a modest rise in revenue, highlighting the impact of improved margins, operational efficiency and strong demand across key business segments.

Revenue for the quarter increased 6.06 percent year-on-year to ₹2,868 crore. However, the company’s profitability grew at a much faster pace due to better product mix, higher premium product sales and lower raw material costs. Berger Paints also benefited from softer input prices, especially after the withdrawal of anti-dumping duty on titanium dioxide, an important raw material used in paint manufacturing.

The company’s gross margins touched a multi-quarter high during the quarter, while operating margins also improved significantly compared to the previous year. Berger Paints witnessed healthy demand in decorative paints, automotive coatings, protective coatings and construction chemicals segments.

Volume growth remained one of the biggest highlights for the quarter. Berger Paints reported an 11.8 percent increase in volumes, supported by strong traction in premium emulsions and waterproofing products. The automotive coatings business also delivered solid growth, driven by rising demand for passenger vehicles, two-wheelers and SUVs.

The company has also initiated calibrated price hikes from March 2026 to protect margins against possible raw material inflation and forex volatility in the coming quarters. Around 25 to 30 percent of the company’s raw material requirements are imported, making currency fluctuations an important factor for profitability.

Berger Paints has further announced expansion plans with investments of nearly ₹2,000 crore in new manufacturing facilities over the next two years. The company believes long-term demand for decorative and industrial coatings in India will remain strong, supported by infrastructure growth, urban housing demand and increasing industrial activity.
