PAT (After Exceptional Items) was at Rs 498.99 Crores.
Commenting on the results, Mr. Pravin Chaudhari, Managing Director, Kansai Nerolac Paints Ltd said, “Industrial coatings registered strong growth during the quarter led by Automotive. The positive effect of the rate cuts in GST done towards the end of September has led to good demand across various OEM categories. In Decorative, while overall demand conditions remained subdued in addition to a shorter festival season, the internal initiatives of the company have helped register good growth in Projects, Distribution, water proofing and Construction Chemicals.
Raw Material prices have been stable though the quarter saw a lot of volatility in forex and geo-political uncertainty.
Looking forward, the growth momentum is expected to be maintained in Automotive and Performance Coatings. The recovery in Decorative will continue to be gradual.“
