K.B.S. Anand, Managing Director & CEO, Asian Paints said the decorative business segment in India registered a high double digit volume growth and delivered strong performance across regions. The automotive coatings JV (PPG-AP), witnessed subdued growth in the auto OEM segment while the industrial coatings JV (AP-PPG) continued to witness good growth in the protective coatings - dealer segment and the powder segment. Margins remained under pressure on account of the higher raw material prices.

In the International operations, some key units continued to witness challenging business conditions while both the segments in the Home Improvement category viz. the Kitchen (Sleek) and Bath (Ess Ess) business continued to scale up with expansion in network and enhancement in product portfolio, K.B.S. Anand said.

Asian Paints is India's leading paint company and ranked among the top ten decorative coatings companies in the world. Asian Paints is also present in the home improvement and Décor space in India through Sleek (Kitchens) and Ess Ess (bath fittings).
