The company has a capacity of 100 million liters in the decorative segment with a utilization rate of 50 percent, while it has a 50 million liter capacity in the industrial segment with a utilization rate of 70 percent.
The company’s revenue sees equal contribution from both the industrial and the decorative paints segments. In the industrial segment, coil coatings have become a major earner for the company.
“Today, we are certainly the largest coil coating player in India. We are the first Indian company to have developed our own technology in this segment and commercialized it,” according to company’s management.

The company continues to increase its retailer network with the addition of more than 2,000 retailers every year. The growth in this network has been due to better market penetration in new clusters across existing large cities nationwide.
