Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

Single-digit value growth is expected for Asian Paints for FY26, reflecting a cautious and practical outlook given current market conditions (Page 42). Volume growth in Q4 was about 1.8%, and on a 12-month basis, volume was up approximately 2.5%, indicating modest volume expansion despite weak demand (Page 4). Demand in the decorative paint segment has been soft, with sluggish home construction and renovation activity; infrastructure is seen as a potential growth driver (Pages 39, 30). Competitive intensity is expected to remain high, which might cap aggressive market share defense (Page 43).
