Asian Paints Limited — Board Meeting, 08-05-2025: Outcome of Board Meeting

Asian Paints has announced a board meeting on the financial results for the quarter and half-year. Consolidated net sales fell 4.5% YoY to ₹33,797 Cr due to soft demand in decorative coatings and tough global conditions, though industrial coatings grew 6.1% in Q4. Consolidated PAT (ex-exceptional) declined 26.7% YoY, with exceptional charges of ₹183 Cr linked to impairments and divestment losses. The board approved a final dividend of ₹20.55 per share, bringing total payout to ₹24.80. The company stays cautiously optimistic, focusing on brand strength and operational efficiencies.
