The company's consolidated net profit increased by 5.2% year-on-year to Rs 217.1 crore, up from Rs 206.4 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year.
Revenue Growth and Operational Highlights
During the same quarter, revenue from operations surged by 13.2% to Rs 3,200.4 crore, compared to Rs 2,827.5 crore in Q2 FY26. This impressive growth was supported by strong contributions from its industrial, construction chemical, and international business segments. Profit before tax (PBT) also saw a healthy increase of 4%, reaching Rs 285 crore from Rs 274.61 crore in the prior year.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA), excluding other income, climbed 5.2% to Rs 370.7 crore, up from Rs 352.3 crore in the same period last year. The company continued its strategy of staggered price hikes to mitigate the impact of persistent raw material inflation. Additionally, Berger Paints launched its new corporate campaign, "Rang Bana Rahe," which garnered positive traction across various audiences.

Following the announcement of its Q2 FY27 earnings, Berger Paints shares responded positively, closing over 2% higher on Thursday at Rs 510.20, against a previous close of Rs 484.5. The company's market capitalization concurrently rose to Rs 57,822 crore.
