Berger Paints Q2 results for FY27 show net profit up 5.2% to Rs 217.1 crore on revenue from operations of Rs 3,200.4 crore, up 13.2%. The company reported the numbers for the September 2026 quarter on 5 November 2026.

Berger’s net profit was Rs 217.1 crore against Rs 206.4 crore a year earlier, while profit before tax rose 4% to Rs 285 crore from Rs 274.61 crore. Revenue from operations climbed from Rs 2,827.5 crore to Rs 3,200.4 crore, and EBITDA excluding other income rose 5.2% to Rs 370.7 crore from Rs 352.3 crore.

How did Berger Paints perform in Q2 FY27?

Revenue grew faster than profit. The company attributed support to its Industrial, Construction Chemical and international businesses. It also launched the corporate campaign “Rang Bana Rahe” during the quarter.

By our calculation from the reported figures, EBITDA margin was about 11.6% of revenue in Q2 FY27 against about 12.5% a year earlier, because EBITDA grew 5.2% while revenue grew 13.2%.

What does this mean for the paint industry?

Berger said it continued staggered price hikes to offset raw material inflation. That points to input costs still weighing on margins even as sales volumes and values expand across paint makers.

Berger shares rose about 2% on 5 November to close at Rs 510.20, up from Rs 484.5, taking market capitalisation to Rs 57,822 crore, according to Business Today. No trade-body comment on the results was found.

What Happens Next?

The company’s own commentary points to continued price actions to manage raw material costs. Investors will watch whether staggered price hikes can restore margins in coming quarters.
