Berger Paints India Q4 net profit rose 27.8% to ₹335 crore on better margins, board proposed final dividend and extended Abhijit Roy as MD and CEO. Shares of Berger Paints India ended marginally lower on Tuesday, May 12, by 0.98% at ₹489.00 on the NSE
The company’s net profit for the quarter ended March rose 27.8% year-on-year to ₹335 crore, compared with ₹262 crore in the year-ago period, according to the company’s exchange filing.
Revenue from operations grew 6.1% to ₹2,868 crore from ₹2,704 crore a year earlier. EBITDA increased 12.6% year-on-year to ₹482 crore, while operating margin expanded to 16.8% from 15.8% in the corresponding quarter last year.
The board recommended a final dividend of ₹4 per equity share of face value Re 1 each for FY26, subject to shareholder approval at the company’s 102nd Annual General Meeting.
Berger Paints India said it expects gradual demand recovery across its decorative and industrial coatings businesses in FY27, supported by improving domestic demand trends and sequential uptick in consumption.
The company said growth momentum is likely to be driven by strong traction in construction chemicals, waterproofing and wood coatings segments, along with upcoming product launches. The outlook for its protective coatings business also remains positive, aided by expected government capital expenditure, stated the exchange filing.
Berger Paints added that calibrated price hikes initiated from late March 2026 are expected to support gross margins amid rising raw material costs. However, forex volatility and geopolitical uncertainty continue to pose near-term risks through supply disruptions and input cost inflation.
Managing Director and CEO Abhijit Roy said the company will continue to focus on network expansion, product innovation and brand building.
The company also approved the reappointment of Abhijit Roy as Managing Director and CEO for a further period of four years from July 1, 2027 to June 30, 2031, following the completion of his current term.
