Aditya Birla Group Chairman, Mr Kumar Mangalam Birla, recently announced the launch of products and services under its new decorative paints brand, "Birla Opus," aiming for Rs 10,000 cr gross revenue within three years of full-scale operations. This marks the Aditya Birla Group's entry into the rapidly expanding Rs 80,000 cr Indian decorative paints market, with an unprecedented level of upfront investment of Rs 10,000 cr. Birla Opus business is being set up by the group flagship company, Grasim Industries Ltd.
Mr Birla said, "India today is teeming with dynamism, audacity, and a penchant for disruption. This India finds a reflection in our paints venture, Birla Opus. The Aditya Birla Group's deep insight into the building materials ecosystem, honed over the years, offers us a unique vantage point. Birla Opus, therefore, is poised to transform the paint industry with a 40% addition to current capacity. No paint company globally has ever launched in one shot factories, operations, products, and services, at the scale that we are about to undertake." He added, "Birla Opus should be seen as a scale start-up incubated by the Aditya Birla Group. It uniquely combines the agility, energy, and frugality of a startup with the muscle, reliability, and brand strength of a storied and dynamic conglomerate."
Birla Opus products will be available in Punjab, Haryana, and Tamil Nadu from midMarch 2024 and across all one lakh population towns in India by July 2024. The company aims to expeditiously expand its distribution to over 6,000 towns by the fiscal year end. This will be the fastest and widest panIndia launch by any paint brand.
