Asian Paints reported muted demand and a 7.8% revenue decline in Q3 FY25, with volume growth of 1.6% and value growth down 7.8%, driven by weak festive season performance and urban slowdown. Industrial segments showed resilience with 1.7% volume growth and 22.1% PBT margin in auto refinishes. Management highlighted rural demand recovery, monsoon support, and B2B growth as key recovery drivers, while urban stress persists. Innovation initiatives include Neo Latex expansion, Nilaya Play, and mechanized painting training across 23 centers. Gross margin improved to 43.2% due to material deflation and sourcing efficiencies, with margin guidance held at 18-20%. Market share remains stable despite a 4-5% sector decline, and international markets in Asia and Middle East delivered 20% growth. The company launched new products like Nilaya Wall W.R.A.P. and Apex Ultima Suprema Air-O-Clean, targeting 7-9% share in a 5 lakh KL category potential.
