Asian Paints Q2 Profit Rises 7% on 17% Revenue Growth Amid Inflation Pressures
Asian Paints reported a 7-7.5% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to around Rs 1,068 crore for Q2 FY27, with revenue increasing approximately 17% to nearly Rs 9,977 crore. Growth was driven by strong domestic decorative and industrial coatings sales and a 29.5% rise in international revenue, despite challenges from raw material inflation and supply disruptions linked to geopolitical tensions. The company implemented staggered price increases and announced an interim dividend of Rs 5.75 per share, while margins contracted due to cost pressures.
