Sirca continued to strengthen its presence in high-potential categories such as acrylic-based and waterborne PU systems, focusing on innovation, sustainability, and superior performance to drive category leadership.

Sirca Paints India has extended its long-standing agreement with Sirca S.p.A., Italy, until 2041.

This expansion enhances technological self-reliance, strengthens market competitiveness, and improves supply chain efficiency.

Commenting on the results, Sanjay Agarwal, Chairman & Managing Director, said, “Despite challenges posed by extended monsoons and an early festive season affecting short-term retail momentum, Sirca remained focused on product innovation and market expansion. Throughout the quarter, we reinforced our operational and market foundations to support sustainable, long-term growth.

We are pleased to introduce a new range of PU coatings under the ‘Wembley’ brand, launched through the ‘Valentino’ sub-brand, designed for the premium furniture and interior segment.
