Berger Paints Reports Q3 Profit Decline Amid Extended Monsoon and Exceptional Charges

Berger Paints India Ltd reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 271 crore for Q3 FY26, marking an 8 percent year-on-year decline despite a marginal 0.3 percent revenue increase to Rs 2,984 crore. The company attributed the profit dip to an extended monsoon, a shorter festive season, and a one-time Rs 53 crore exceptional charge related to labor code provisions. Sequentially, profit and revenue showed improvement, supported by volume growth and stable gross margins amid rising input costs.
