Management explicitly flagged unprecedented geopolitical and global economic uncertainty as the primary cautious element for FY26 outlook. If tariff-related disruptions extend beyond 30-40 days, the impact could be material to consumer demand and growth outlook.
Analyst raised concern about potential entry by large industrial houses into adhesives/business segments (similar to Asian Paints/Havells dynamics). Management acknowledged the risk, emphasizing portfolio diversification and Fevicol brand strength as defenses.
Paints expansion (Berger John Adams) remains in fine-tuning phase across 5 states (Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Odisha). Management indicated it's premature to share size targets, with focus on rural/small-town India and demand generation playbook development before wider rollout.
