Asian Paints Sees 42% Profit Drop in Q2 FY25

Asian Paints reported a 42% year-on-year decline in its Q2 profit, falling to ₹695 crore in FY25. The drop was mainly due to higher input costs and slower demand in some markets. Despite a rise in revenue, the company’s profit margins were squeezed. Asian Paints remains focused on cost management and improving operational efficiencies to navigate challenges and drive future growth.
