Berger Paints Emirates Ltd Co, a step-down subsidiary of Asian Paints International Pvt. Ltd., Singapore, has announced plans to establish its second paint manufacturing facility in the United Arab Emirates. The project involves an investment of AED 140 million, approximately Rs 340 crore.
The new plant will have an initial production capacity of 55,800 kilolitres per year and will span 100,000 square metres within the Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi. The facility is expected to enhance Asian Paints’ market presence in the Middle East and expand its global manufacturing footprint.
In a separate development, Asian Paints has partnered with the Board of Control for Cricket in India as the Official Colour Partner for India Cricket. The three-year partnership will cover all Men’s, Women’s, and Domestic series played in India, spanning over 110 matches.
Financially, Asian Paints reported a 43% rise in consolidated net profit at Rs 994 crore during Q2 FY26, driven by strong performance across its decorative, automotive, and industrial paints segments. Consolidated net sales increased by 6.4% to Rs 8,513.7 crore in Q2 FY26 from Rs 8,003 crore in the same quarter last year.
Amit Syngle, Managing Director and CEO of Asian Paints Ltd, said, “We saw an improvement in our domestic decorative business with double-digit volume growth of 10.9% and a 6% increase in value, despite the challenges posed by a prolonged monsoon. This growth was driven by our ability to generate demand across urban and rural areas through regional activations and intensive marketing and brand-building efforts.”
