Amit Syngle, managing director & CEO of Asian Paints, said: Q4 FY26 performance was a quarter of all-round performance, with double-digit volume and value growth and margin expansion. The quarter witnessed improvement in the domestic decorative business with the business delivering a 12.4% growth in volume and 10.2% growth in value terms. The Industrial business delivered a strong double-digit growth during the quarter driven by Automotive, General Industrial and Protective Coatings Segments, taking the overall domestic coatings value growth to 11%. The International portfolio continued to deliver resilient growth with improved profitability despite volatility in select markets. The Home D'cor business though muted, continued to gain traction through our Beautiful Homes Store network spread across 20 states in India. At an overall business level, margins improved through cost discipline aided by material deflation and operational efficiencies even as we continued to invest in long term growth drivers. The external environment remains fluid, with the West Asia conflict contributing to near-term uncertainty in demand. However, supported by strong fundamentals and execution discipline, we remain resilient to navigate this volatility and sustain our performance. Asian Paints is India's leading paint and decor company and ranked among the top 8 coatings companies in the world. The company also offers a wide range of Home D'cor products and is an emerging strong player in the Home Improvement and D'cor space in India. Powered by Capital Market - Live
