Berger Paints India Ltd reported a strong financial performance for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, posting double-digit growth in revenue and operating profit despite geopolitical disruptions arising from the West Asia conflict. The company’s consolidated revenue from operations rose 12 per cent year-on-year to Rs. 3,583.8 crore from Rs. 3,200.8 crore, while EBITDA increased 15 per cent to Rs. 607.4 crore. Consolidated net profit climbed 28.6 per cent to Rs. 405 crore during the quarter. On a standalone basis, revenue grew 12.7 per cent to Rs. 3,226.7 crore, EBITDA rose 12.6 per cent to Rs. 562.2 crore, and net profit increased 25.5 per cent to Rs. 368.7 crore.
Managing Director and CEO Abhijit Roy said improving demand carried over from the previous quarter, with decorative and automotive businesses driving growth. He noted that crude oil-linked raw material inflation caused by the West Asia conflict moderated gross margins, but prudent financial management and operational efficiencies helped the company deliver operating margins above its guidance range. Roy added that waterproofing, construction chemicals and wood coatings continued to record healthy growth, supported by new product launches such as “Kolor Plus” and the Metallics premium range, while joint ventures Berger Becker and Berger Nippon also posted strong performances.
In Kolkata, Berger Paints’ robust quarterly results are significant as the company is headquartered in the city and remains one of eastern India’s leading corporate entities. The strong earnings are expected to reinforce investor confidence in Kolkata-based manufacturing companies while reflecting healthy demand from eastern and urban markets. Continued network expansion and growth in low market share urban centres are also likely to support the company’s business momentum across the region.
Looking ahead, Berger Paints said gradual improvement in domestic demand and a better-than-expected monsoon provide a positive outlook for the coming months, although forex volatility, geopolitical uncertainty and raw material inflation continue to pose near-term risks to margins. The company said it will continue focusing on network expansion, product innovation, service excellence and brand building, alongside the launch of its new corporate campaign, “Jaise Bhi Ho Din, Rang Bana Rahe.”
