The acquisition of ANIL, known for its iconic brands such as Dulux, International and Sikkens, is expected to elevate JSW Paints to a prominent position in the market. This acquisition comes at a time when India’s paints and coatings industry is undergoing a rapid expansion, driven by infrastructure growth and rising consumer demand.

With the magic of Dulux and the thoughtfulness of JSW Paints, we aim to co-create a future-ready paint company that not only delights customers but builds enduring value for all stakeholders.”
AkzoNobel CEO Greg Poux-Guillaume claimed: “This transaction is a significant milestone in the execution of our strategy. Akzo Nobel India has been a consistently strong performer, and we’re confident that JSW is the right long-term partner to carry forward its legacy.”
