Akzo Nobel India, a leading Paints and Coatings company and maker of Dulux Paints, today at the Board meeting announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.
Q3 FY21 versus Q3 FY20

- Highest reported quarterly EBIT at ₹114.6 crore, up 18%
- Profit after tax (PAT) at ₹ 87.4 crore up 14%. PAT growth mirrored EBIT growth at 19% excluding exceptional income in previous year
Commenting on the quarter performance, Rajiv Rajgopal, Managing Director, Akzo Nobel India said, "The revival in the Indian economy as well as the festive demand helped drive revenue growth in Paints, Powder, Marine and Packaging Coatings businesses leading to a strong double-digit volume growth. Segments like power and oil & gas were impacted, while Real Estate has started to see an uptick. We have augmented our portfolio with new launches which will help us sustain revenue growth. This coupled with tight operating expense (opex) management enabled us in achieving the highest EBIT."
