Berger Paints Reports 13% Revenue Growth and 5% Profit Rise Amid Margin Pressures
Berger Paints India reported a 13.2% year-on-year rise in revenue to around Rs 3,200 crore for Q2 FY27, alongside a 5.2% increase in net profit to Rs 217 crore. Despite strong volume growth, rising raw material costs, higher advertising expenses, and forex volatility pressured margins. The company plans price hikes and cost-efficiency measures from November to mitigate these challenges. Seasonal factors and crude-linked input cost fluctuations also influenced quarterly performance, with management aiming to restore margins and sustain growth.
