- Revenue target of about Rs 150 crore in the current financial year versus Rs 90 crore last fiscal
- Rs 300 crore revenue target over the next two years
- Three-fold revenue increase from last year targeted

Why this matters
Zydex Paints’ expansion makes it a potentially relevant partnership or acquisition watchlist candidate for coatings players seeking mineral-paint technology, contractor access, or faster penetration of India’s value paint segment.
What to watch
- Reported quarterly revenue run-rate versus the ₹150 crore fiscal-year target.
- Dealer additions, active-dealer productivity and geographic concentration of new distribution.
- Contractor enrollment, repeat ordering and evidence of successful on-site applications.
- Launch timing, price points and SKU breadth for mass-market silicate mineral paints.
- Gross-margin movement, dealer incentives and working-capital intensity during network expansion.
- Competitive promotional activity from major paint companies in value, exterior and waterproofing-adjacent categories.
- Customer complaints or return rates related to application complexity, finish consistency or durability claims.
- Add dealers in tier-2, tier-3 and semi-urban markets where national-brand availability and service levels are inconsistent.
- Build contractor-led demand through demonstrations, applicator training, referral incentives and warranty-led selling.
- Position silicate mineral paints around functional outcomes such as weather resistance, anti-damp performance, breathability and longer repaint cycles rather than technical chemistry alone.
- Expand tinting, inventory replenishment and local logistics capabilities to prevent stock-outs as dealer count rises.
- Use entry-level SKUs and smaller packs to lower trial barriers, while retaining premium variants to protect gross margin.
- Seek institutional, housing-society, waterproofing and renovation-project specifications where mineral-paint performance can be validated at scale.
