Asian Paints to Set Up Second Manufacturing Unit in UAE

Asian Paints, through its subsidiary Berger Paints Emirates Ltd, has proposed establishing a second manufacturing facility in the United Arab Emirates as part of its broader global expansion strategy.

The planned investment of approximately Rs. 340 crore (AED 140 million) reflects the company’s commitment to strengthening its international presence.

According to a regulatory filing, the new plant will be developed within the Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD) and will span 100,000 square metres. The facility is expected to begin operations with an annual production capacity of 55,800 kilolitres (KL).

Berger Paints Emirates Ltd operates under Asian Paints International Pvt. Ltd., Singapore, which is a wholly owned unit of Asian Paints. The addition of this second UAE plant is projected to significantly widen the company’s reach across the Middle East and support the rising demand in regional markets.

During Wednesday’s trading session, shares of Asian Paints Ltd remained stable, closing at Rs. 2,872 on the NSE—a marginal dip of 0.13%. As the UAE expansion update was disclosed after market hours, the stock is likely to attract increased attention today.

Despite recent market volatility, Asian Paints has posted an impressive climb of nearly 14% over the past month. The company has also strengthened its brand presence in India through a new sponsorship deal worth Rs. 45 crore over three years with the BCCI, covering 110 home matches across men’s, women’s, and domestic cricket.

Additionally, Asian Paints recently reported strong Q2 FY26 results, with consolidated net profit surging 47% year-on-year to Rs. 1,018 crore, up from Rs. 694 crore in the same period last year.
