Asian Paints has reported its second quarter results showing strong growth in revenue and profit though margins came under pressure. The company’s revenue increased 16.9% year on year to ₹9,976.5 crore compared with ₹8,531 crore in the same quarter last year. Net profit rose 7.6% to ₹1,068 crore against ₹993 crore a year earlier, reflecting steady demand across categories.
Operating performance showed moderate growth with EBITDA rising 3.6% to ₹1,557 crore compared with ₹1,503 crore last year. However, the EBITDA margin slipped to 15.6% from 18% in the previous year, indicating the impact of higher input costs and competitive pressures on profitability.
The results highlight that while demand for decorative paints and coatings remains firm, cost inflation continues to weigh on margins. Asian Paints is focusing on efficiency, product innovation and expansion strategies to sustain growth momentum in the coming quarters.
Overall, the company delivered healthy revenue and profit growth in the quarter, though margin contraction signals the need for sharper cost management. Investors and analysts will closely track how Asian Paints balances growth with profitability amid volatile raw material prices and evolving market conditions. The performance reflects resilience but also challenges in maintaining margins.
