Kansai Nerolac Paints' Q1 consolidated financials: Net Revenue grew 9.8% YoY to ₹2,373.59 Cr.

PBDIT and PAT also increased, despite some margin pressure from higher material costs.

All key segments, including Decorative, Industrial, and Construction Chemicals, saw strong growth, supported by network expansion and a ₹600 Cr capacity investment.

Management expects buoyant auto demand and sustained infrastructure growth, but warns of risks from high crude prices, rupee depreciation, and geopolitical factors.
