Festive test for new paint firms
Mint New Delhi
|October 02, 2025
The December quarter is typically the brightest for Indian paint companies as consumers rush to refresh homes before Diwali. However, the canvas isn’t smooth this year.
Demand for paints has been soft, though September showed some pickup, said an analyst. With Diwali coming in early during the October-December quarter (Q3FY26), the window is shorter in terms of the number of days available for painting. Investors in paint companies can only hope the momentum sustains after Diwali, when broader demand trends will become clearer.
The bigger shift is strategic, with the capacity race largely over. Now it’s about distribution muscle, brand pull, and dealer stickiness. That's where incumbents like Asian Paints Ltd and Berger Paints India Ltd have decades of goodwill and deep networks to defend turf.

A case for loafing about
Taylor Swift apparently spends 60% of her time talking about bread (\"it's a loaf story,\" to quote her)—as I learnt from a reel I came across while trying to avoid getting down to the real work of the day (or should I say loafing about)—and it made me wonder when we became so obsessed about what came out of a packet and was eaten when we were sick.
