Excluding ₹22 crore of Rang Bana Rahe campaign investment, management indicated Q2 PBDIT growth would have been ~3%.
Outlook and guidance
Management aims to restore EBITDA margin to the 15%-17% guided band, targeting a level close to it in Q3 and potentially Q4 through pricing, cost savings, efficiency and operating-cost discipline.
Industrial price actions were expected to recover nearly 90% of the intended increase by end-November and the balance by December, conditional on raw-material prices remaining lower.
October recorded the strongest sales growth in 25-30 months; management expects robust Q3 growth as festive demand shifts into the quarter.
Q3 priorities include automotive and industrial coatings, waterproofing, construction chemicals and wood coatings, alongside brand investment and retail activation.
Urban-market expansion remains an experiment through March, with acceleration planned from April after reviewing results and refining execution.
