Management interview of Berger Paints India Ltd (BERGEPAINT).
- Abhijit Roy, MD & CEO, Berger Paints India Ltd
Berger Paints reported that October was its best month in two years, driven by strong decorative sales and healthy cash collections ahead of Diwali. Demand picked up from August after a muted start to H1 due to rains. The company expects Q3 FY27 profitability to improve considerably over Q2 FY27 levels, supported by better sales volumes, an improved product mix with the return of high-margin exterior coatings, and easing raw material prices. Management reiterated that it will maintain advertising investments for its ongoing brand campaign.
