Rajiv Rajgopal, Managing Director, Akzo Nobel India commented:

“In Q2 FY24, we continued building on margin improvement and topline growth. Coatings business and B2B segment registered strong growth. In retail, softening demand and erratic rains muted sales. Improvement in gross margins was mainly attributed to easing of raw material costs coupled with favourable mix. Operating leverage and productivity gains further contributed to our double-digit profitability.

The record performance in the first half of FY24 across all parameters underscores our strong commitment towards profitable growth.”
