Berger Paints India Ltd announced a 27.52% increase in its consolidated net profit for the March quarter of FY26, reaching ₹335.25 crore, compared to ₹262.91 crore in the same quarter last year. The rise in profit was attributed to an improved product mix and a decline in raw material prices. The company's revenue from operations also increased to ₹2,868.03 crore, up from ₹2,704.03 crore a year ago. Managing Director & CEO Abhijit Roy noted a healthy volume growth of 11.8% during the quarter, supported by strong performance in the automotive and general industrial segments. The board has proposed a dividend of ₹4 per equity share for FY26, pending shareholder approval. Looking ahead, Roy expressed optimism about the gradual improvement in domestic demand indicators and the positive impact of a recent price increase of over 11% on gross margins, despite potential risks from forex volatility and geopolitical uncertainties.
