Indigo Paints reported Q4 standalone revenue of INR 397.9 crore (8.4% Y-o-Y growth) with gross margin improving to 48.6% from 47.4% last year. Full year standalone revenue was INR 1,330 crore (4.1% growth) with EBITDA margin at 18.5% (vs 18.1% in FY '25). PAT for the year was INR 149.8 crore (11.2% margin). Management flagged a strategic shift—they are prepared to accept gross margin reduction of 200-250 bps to pursue higher top-line growth, prioritising market share over margin protection. The company expects this to drive volume acceleration while keeping EBITDA margins broadly unchanged. Capital expenditure cycle is largely complete with Jodhpur water-based plant (90,000 KL/annum) commissioning in June 2026, enabling strong free cash flow generation from FY '27 onwards. Dividend increased 43% to INR 5 per share. Subsidiary Apple Chemie delivered 35% Q4 growth and targets 30%+ growth in FY '27.
The margin-sacrifice-for-growth strategy signals management's intent to accelerate market share gains, which could moderate near-term profitability but strengthen long-term competitive position. Completion of capex cycle and higher dividends signal improving cash returns. Raw material cost spike in March 2026 appears largely absorbed via 12% price hikes.
