Akzo Nobel India Limited — Investor Meet, 20-05-2025: Analysts/Institutional Investor Meet/Con. Call Updates

Akzo Nobel India has announced a board meeting to consider the financial results for the quarter and half-year.

Q4 & FY25 revenue grew 5% led by strong double-digit growth in marine, protective, and industrial coatings; decorative paints were flat with premium and urban segments holding up amid pricing discipline. EBIT margin stayed healthy at 13.6%, balancing growth and investments in digital and consumer experience. Distribution expanded by over 3,200 outlets, with new experiential retail pilots in key urban/tier-1 cities. Management expects rural demand to improve from August and anticipates a stronger second half supported by easing inflation. Raw material cost pressures are mixed; capex will target capacity and distribution enhancements. Confident on maintaining profitability while advancing strategic growth initiatives.
