Asian Paints Q1 Net Profit Rises 40% on Revenue Growth and Price Hikes
Asian Paints reported a 40% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to approximately Rs 1,539 crore for Q1 FY27, with revenue increasing around 18% to over Rs 10,500 crore. The company’s profit before tax and EBITDA also grew significantly, supported by price hikes, cost discipline, and strong international business performance, particularly in the Middle East and other regions. Domestic decorative paints saw volume growth despite competitive pressures. Asian Paints maintained its full-year outlook but noted concerns over raw material price volatility and geopolitical risks.
