''We crossed the Rs 35,000 crore consolidated revenue milestone in FY2024. Our Decorative & Industrial coatings combined delivered volume growth of 10 per cent and value growth of 3.9 per cent for the year with our industrial segment registering double-digit value growth,'' Asian Paints Managing Director and CEO Amit Syngle said.
He said the company's international business has seen steady growth in the Middle Eastern and African markets but remains constrained by macroeconomic headwinds in South Asia and Egypt.
''Despite these challenges, profit delivery in the global business has been strong all through the year,'' Syngle added.
Looking ahead, he said, ''We remain confident about a pick-up in demand conditions with a favourable monsoon forecast''.
