Berger Paints Q1 Net Profit Rises Nearly 29% on Strong Segment Growth
Berger Paints India reported a 28.5-29% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to around Rs 405 crore for Q1 FY27, with revenue increasing about 12% to Rs 3,584 crore. Growth was driven by strong demand and price hikes in both decorative and automotive segments, despite raw material cost pressures from crude price volatility linked to West Asia tensions. Operating margins remained stable due to cost controls and efficiencies. The company expects continued demand recovery supported by a favorable monsoon and ongoing price adjustments, while noting risks from forex and geopolitical uncertainties.
