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. The renewed partnership includes the transfer of technical expertise for local manufacturing of high-quality acrylic, UV, and polyester-based wood coatings. Under the agreement, Sirca India will pay a quarterly royalty of 0.75 per cent of turnover. 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. The range is already gaining traction across our distributor base. Our emphasis on innovation—particularly in metallic and acrylic finishes—continues to strengthen our brand differentiation, and we remain deeply engaged with architects and interior designers to enhance professional recall and advocacy.”
