Kansai Nerolac Paints reported Q2 FY26 standalone revenue of Rs. 1,871.02 Crores, up just 0.4% year-on-year, while EBITDA declined 1.5% to Rs. 211.85 Crores and profit before tax fell 4% to Rs. 184.39 Crores. Despite the top-line weakness, profit after tax rose about 5% to Rs. 136.94 Crores, supported by lower tax outflow. For the half-year, revenue grew a modest 1.1% to Rs. 3,958.44 Crores, but EBITDA contracted 4.7% to Rs. 523.82 Crores and PBT fell 4.1%, indicating margin compression. Management attributed the softness to weak decorative paints demand due to heavy monsoons and a shorter Diwali season, while automotive and performance coatings segments continued to do well. Statutory auditors SRBC & Co LLP issued an unqualified review report, and the Board also disclosed a pending scheme to merge wholly-owned subsidiary Nerofix Private Limited.
Margins are under pressure with costs rising faster than revenue, even as bottom-line growth came from lower taxes rather than operations. Short-term sentiment may be cautious, but the management outlook remains constructive on automotive, performance coatings and a gradual recovery in decorative demand.
