With the emphasis on infrastructure growth in India, the future of the paint and coatings markets in the country looks bright. Grauer & Weil (India) Ltd, hopes to ride the crest of this wave! The company has already made a mark with their indigenously developed high performance primers and fluorinated top coats for the Supersonic BrahMos missile and the High Speed Rail under the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat' program of the Government of India. “We have also received the AS:9100 certification which is a quality management system (QMS) standard for companies in the aviation, space, and defense industries,” said Mr Sujit Sinha, President, Paints Division, Grauer & Weil (India) Ltd. The AS:9100 standard is issued by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG), which is a collaborative group focused on setting quality standards specifically for the aerospace industry; essentially, it's an aerospace standard developed and maintained by the IAQG.

The development of fluoropolymer-based paints for the upcoming series of high-speed Vande Bharat is another area, the company is targeting for further growth. The high-speed rail coatings market in India is currently in its nascent stage, experiencing significant growth potential with major drivers including the need for specialized coatings to withstand high speeds, harsh weather conditions, and increased passenger traffic, while also facing challenges related to technology adoption and infrastructure development within the country. Overall, the market is expected to see substantial expansion as more high-speed rail projects are initiated.
