Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], Jan 22 (ANI): Asian Paints on Wednesday reported a 20 per cent rise in its consolidated net profit at Rs 764 crore for the quarter ended December 31 as compared to Rs 636 crore in the corresponding quarter of previous fiscal.

"The decorative business segment in India registered a low double-digit volume growth, impacted by the slowdown in overall economy," said Managing Director and CEO K B S Anand.
"Automotive coatings business continued to be impacted by the downturn in automobile industry while industrial coatings saw some demand pick-up in the protective coatings segment. Benign raw material prices benefited the entire coatings business," he said in a statement.
International operations performance was impacted by challenging business conditions in some key units in the Gulf Cooperation Council and Sri Lanka.
Both segments in the home improvement category -- kitchen and bath -- continue to be impacted by the slowdown in the real estate construction space.
