Berger Paints Emirates Ltd Co, a step-down subsidiary of Asian Paints International Private Limited, Singapore, has announced plans to establish its second paint manufacturing facility in the United Arab Emirates. The new plant will be located within the Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD), spanning 100,000 square metres.
The project carries an expected investment of AED 140 million (approximately INR 340 crore) and is designed to produce 55,800 kilolitres of paint annually at full capacity. This expansion is part of Asian Paints’ broader strategy to strengthen its presence in the Middle East, enhancing operational capacity and supporting the company’s long-term international growth objectives.
The KEZAD location provides Berger Paints Emirates with access to world-class infrastructure and logistical advantages, enabling efficient supply chain management and faster delivery to regional markets. The new facility is expected to support the growing demand for decorative, industrial, and automotive paints in the UAE and neighboring countries, reinforcing Asian Paints’ competitive position in the Middle East.
Berger Paints Emirates operates under Asian Paints International Pvt. Ltd., Singapore, which is wholly owned by Asian Paints Ltd. This structure ensures robust governance while enabling focused execution of international expansion plans.
Asian Paints’ recent quarterly results highlights its robust business momentum. The company reported a net profit of INR 1,018 crore, up 47% from INR 693 crore in the previous year. Consolidated revenue reached INR 8,531 crore, surpassing street estimates of INR 8,105 crore. EBITDA rose by 21.3% to INR 1,503 crore, with the margin expanding by 200 basis points to 17.6%.
Following the announcement, Asian Paints’ shares traded 0.38% higher at INR 2,885 on the NSE, reflecting investor confidence in the company’s growth strategy and regional expansion plans.
The new KEZAD facility reinforces Asian Paints’ commitment to expanding its global manufacturing footprint and meeting rising demand in international markets. By combining advanced production capabilities with strategic regional placement, the company aims to enhance supply chain efficiency, improve customer service, and strengthen its position as a leading paint manufacturer in the Middle East.
With this investment, Asian Paints continues to drive sustainable growth, backed by operational excellence and strategic international expansion, while supporting its vision of becoming a global leader in the paints and coatings sector.
