Kansai Nerolac needs fresh coat to improve margins

Weighed down by stiff competition, the company has shed 1,172 crore over the past two weeks in mcap.

India's largest decorative paint company in terms of mcap, expects double-digit growth in the industrial segment and aims to maintain margins, but its performance in decorative paints could suffer amid competition.

The company's Q4 revenue rose by 3.5 per cent compared to the same period last year but was below consensus estimates.
