Moreover, as Diwali is slightly ahead compared to last year, paint manufacturers expect a better performance in August and September. Asian Paints, the largest company in the sector, said the early monsoon was a bit of a dampener, which affected some of its business. "In April and May, the demand was better, but it was strongly impacted by the early monsoon. However, I think the silver lining was that we saw some shoots of demand coming up in urban areas, which were down, and we hope that it continues as we go ahead," Asian Paints Managing ...
