Berger Paints India Limited announced its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025. The company reported a consolidated total income from operations of ₹2,984 crore for Q3 FY26, a marginal increase of 0.3% compared to ₹2,975.1 crore in Q3 FY25. Consolidated Profit After Tax (PAT) for the quarter stood at ₹271.3 crore, a decrease of 8.3% from ₹296.0 crore in the same period last year. The standalone total income from operations was ₹2,595.0 crore, up 0.4% from ₹2,584.8 crore in Q3 FY25, while standalone PAT declined by 2.5% to ₹298.4 crore from ₹306.1 crore.
The decorative business saw continued network expansion with the installation of over 2,500 color bank machines and enhanced presence through 1,800+ stores. New product launches, including Kolor Plus emulsion and Luxol Metallica, performed well. The construction chemicals segment delivered robust growth, driven by offerings like HS Roof segment and damp-proofing solutions, along with strong traction in tile adhesives. The wood coatings segment registered strong double-digit value and volume growth.
The industrial business reported muted growth in volume and value for the Protecton and General Industries segments. The automotive segment, however, achieved high single-digit volume growth and mid-single-digit value growth. The company maintained a net cash position of ₹918 crore on a consolidated basis as of December 2026, compared to ₹689 crore in March 2025.
Looking ahead, Berger Paints expects demand conditions to gradually improve. The focus remains on revenue growth with sustained gross margins, and PBDIT margins are anticipated to stay within the guided range. The company plans continued investments in branding, distribution, and urban initiatives to capitalize on potential demand improvement, while acknowledging potential near to medium-term volatility from geopolitical uncertainty, forex fluctuations, and evolving tariff dynamics.
