(Pages 6, 4) - Paint segment growth is expected to improve to double-digits (~10%) in FY ‘26 due to enhanced capacities and increased IML adoption by Asian Paints and ABG. (Page 5) - Overall EBITDA growth will benefit from strong growth and high margins in Food & FMCG and Pharma segments, along with stabilized paint segment performance.
