NEW DELHI: Berger Paints reported a dip of 11.01 per cent in its net consolidated profit during the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Its profit after tax stood at ₹315.04 crore in Q1 FY26 as against ₹354.03 crore it registered in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal, the company said in a BSE filing.
The company’s net consolidated total income stood at ₹3,229.22 crore in Q1 FY26, a growth of 3.26 per cent from ₹3,127.34 crore it recorded in the similar quarter last year.
The results for the quarter include an exceptional loss of ₹36.81 crore, arising from a fire incident at a regional distribution centre and warehouse facility in Barasat, Kolkata. The fire originated at some other company’s premise and unfortunately spread to our warehouse. The loss pertains primarily to damaged inventory, and certain fixed assets. The insurance claim filing is currently in progress, and related assessments are underway, the company said in the regulatory filing.
“This quarter saw sequential improvements in demand with month-on-month improvements being observed. The early onset of the monsoon played spoilsport this quarter. We were still able to deliver value growth higher than the listed industry players and continued to improve our market share. The volume value gap this quarter is 3.6% as compared to 7% for the last fiscal. We continued to register robust growth in our key focus segments of waterproofing, construction
chemicals and wood coatings. The gradual and sequential improvement in domestic demand indicators and improving momentum in key markets are positive signs which were interrupted by the inclement weather but will recover in short order. The volatile geopolitical situation and uncertainly resulting from the international tariff negotiations are potential risk/actors going forward,” said Abhijit Roy, managing director & CEO of the company.
