Asian Paints Limited's merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Asian Paints (Polymers) Private Limited, has been sanctioned by the NCLT on March 10, 2026. This strategic move aims to boost operational synergy, optimize resource utilization, simplify the group structure, and cut administrative costs.

Since Asian Paints (Polymers) is a wholly-owned subsidiary, no new shares will be issued, ensuring no dilution for existing shareholders. The scheme's appointed date was April 1, 2025. Post-merger, Asian Paints' authorized share capital will increase to ₹1400 Cr. The company anticipates no material financial impact, highlighting this as a step towards long-term efficiency.
