Amit Syngle, managing director & CEO of Asian Paints, said, “We delivered a resilient performance in Q2, a seasonally softer quarter, sustaining the momentum of the last few quarters.
Our international business grew 29.5%, with strong performance across all regions. Middle East region also registered robust growth despite servicing challenges posed by the ongoing geopolitical situation. In Home Décor, we saw improved scale in part of the business, and we continue to take steps to strengthen its overall performance trajectory.
The operating environment this year has been marked by sharp raw material inflation and material availability constraints driven by geopolitical disruptions, the full impact of which was felt in Q2. We calibrated price increases and absorbed part of the cost inflation to protect consumer demand in this challenging environment, resulting in standalone EBITDA margins of 17.1% in a quarter that typically has a lower mix and margin profile. With inflationary pressures showing little sign of easing, we are implementing a further round of staggered price increases in the coatings business, while intensifying our cost-efficiency initiatives.
During the quarter, we commissioned Phase 1 of our VAE manufacturing facility at Dahej, a significant milestone in our backward integration journey. This is a strategic investment in our long-term leadership: it expands our ability to deliver strongly differentiated product propositions and strengthens our cost competitiveness. As we enter the festive season, we remain focused on brand building, innovation and service-led differentiation to sustain the growth momentum.”
