Indigo Paints: Expanding Horizons and Driving Growth in India’s Paint and Chemicals Market

Strong Growth Ahead for India’s Paint Industry

The Indian paint industry is poised for robust growth, driven by urbanization, increasing disposable incomes, and expanding construction activities. The rising demand for decorative paints, home renovations continues to fuel the market. Consumer preference for eco-friendly and innovative products, such as water-based and low-VOC paints. In line with this, Indigo Paint's has emerged as a key player, capitalizing on these trends. The company is poised to grow its revenue at 3-4 times the industry’s rate, with a strong focus on expanding its sales and marketing reach across more states. With continued investments in brand-building and digital advertising, Indigo Paints is well-positioned to enhance its profitability, maintain strong gross margins, and log impressive revenue growth in FY25.


Financial Analysis:-

Indigo Paints has consistently outpaced industry growth by 3 to 4 times over the past four quarters and continues to lead in terms of gross margin, with the highest-ever gross margin recorded in Q4.

The company has also focused on brand building, with Advertising & Promotion (A&P) expenses for FY24 making up 7.4% of total revenue. For Q4 FY24, the company’s EBITDA margin increased slightly from 22.0% in Q4 FY23 to 22.5%. For the full fiscal year FY24, the EBITDA margin was 18.5%, in line with earlier guidance.

However, the Profit After Tax (PAT) margin decreased from 14.8% in Q4 FY23 to 14.5% in Q4 FY24. This reduction is mainly due to higher depreciation charges following the commissioning of a new plant in Tamil Nadu.


New products:- 

The company is a pioneer in India’s decorative paint market, introducing category-creating products like Metallic Emulsions, Tile Coat Emulsions, Bright Ceiling Coat Emulsions, and Floor Coat Emulsions. Their unique product range also includes Dirtproof & Waterproof Exterior Laminate, Acrylic Laminate (for both exterior and interior), and PU Super Gloss Enamel, all offering value-added properties.

Indigo Paints is not only capitalizing on these trends in the decorative paint segment but is also diversifying its portfolio and expanding into new areas. The company recently acquired a 51% stake in Apple Chemie India Ltd., marking its entry into the high-growth construction chemicals and waterproofing segment (WPCC). The WPCC products are being launched and marketed under the AMC brand’s Protect Plus Series for the retail channel, while Apple Chemie continues to focus on the fast-growing B2B infrastructure segment.

Since the acquisition, Apple Chemie has achieved impressive growth of over 24%, with further acceleration expected. To support this expansion, AMC has ramped up its sales force for FY23 and FY24 and has successfully forayed into 8 additional states. With a strategic focus on diversifying its product offerings and expanding its geographic footprint, Indigo is well-positioned to drive significant revenue growth and profitability in the coming years.


Strong Growth Outlook for FY25:-

The company expects to continue growing its revenue at 3-4 times the industry growth rate. Gross margins are anticipated to remain steady for the fiscal year, with quarterly fluctuations due to seasonal changes in product mix.

While A&P expenses as a percentage of revenue are expected to decline slightly, digital advertising spend will increase. EBITDA margin for FY25 is forecasted to grow by 50-100 basis points, with quarterly variations due to product mix and advertising spend.

Apple Chemie is poised for strong revenue growth in FY25, driven by expanded sales and marketing activities across more states.
