Berger Paints India reported a 27% increase in consolidated net profit to ₹335.3 crore for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, driven by strong demand and improved gross margins. The company's revenue from operations rose 6.1% to ₹2,868 crore, with earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (Ebitda) increasing 12.6% to ₹481.7 crore. Managing Director Abhijit Roy noted a healthy volume growth of 11.8% during this period, supported by a favorable product mix and declining raw material prices. Gross margins improved to 42.3%, the highest in three years, aided by a better mix and the withdrawal of anti-dumping duties on titanium dioxide. However, for the full fiscal year 2026, the company reported a 4.6% decline in net profit to ₹1,128.8 crore, impacted by new labor codes and a warehouse fire in Barasat, West Bengal. Looking ahead, Berger Paints anticipates that recent price hikes will help maintain gross margins amid rising raw material costs, with growth expected in segments like construction chemicals and waterproofing.
