Astral Limited, a leading innovator in the building construction segment and one of the fastest-growing building material company, is proud to announce the launch of its extensive new paint line, Astral Paints. The new exciting brand by Astral Limited offers a vast array of options to meet the needs of every painter, designer, and homeowner, featuring a diverse selection of colours, finishes, and specialized formulations.

After acquiring a majority stake in Gem Paints in 2022, Astral Limited thoroughly prepared to enter the paint industry. The company has strategically launched its first phase in Bengaluru, leveraging three state-of-the-art paint units. Moreover, the company will expand its paint line across India in phases, starting with Karnataka and Gujarat.

Sandeep Engineer, CMD of Astral Limited, stated, "The launch of Astral Paints marks a significant milestone in Astral Limited's journey. It's a strategic move to diversify and solidify our presence in the ever-evolving Indian market. Our deep understanding and extensive experience within the building materials ecosystem give us a distinct advantage. We are confident that Astral Paints will revolutionize the industry with its versatile paints, extensive colour options, and unwavering focus on quality. Paints have always held a special place in my heart, stemming from my father's association with the industry. We embody Astral's core value - 'TRUST' - and deliver on our promise: 'The trust of Astral, now in Paints."

Saumya Engineer, CEO of Astral Adhesives & Paints, added, "We are launching Astral Paints not merely to add a feather in Astral Limited's cap, but to establish it as a leading business within the Astral Group. Our consistent and strategic approach has proven successful with our other ventures such as adhesives, construction chemicals, and bathware, and we will maintain this same momentum with paints. While we are not in a rush to go pan-India, we will strategically and incrementally introduce our products into different markets, with the aim of covering the entire country within the next three years."
