Berger Paints expects a stronger September quarter after price hikes and muted rainfall. It plans to install more than 2,500 tinting machines per quarter from Q2, versus about 2,100 in Q1, while funding Panagarh capacity, factory expansion and ColorBank deployment amid intensifying competition.
Berger Paints expects a stronger September quarter as muted rainfall, favourable comparisons and price hikes lift sales and margins. It plans FY27 capex of ₹600-800 crore, including Panagarh capacity and factory expansion, while accelerating tinting-machine deployment amid elevated competition.
Why this matters
The expansion follows Berger Paints' reported Q1 demand resilience and above-industry growth ambition, its UP rural push with 6,000+ dealers and the Sandila plant, and the Rang Bana Rahe brand campaign.
