Early monsoon, intense competition dampen paint companies' growth in Q1

Business Standard

The early arrival of the monsoon this year and intense competition from new market entrants with aggressive pricing adversely impacted the June quarter earnings of leading paint makers. However, the top four listed paint makers, including Asian Paints, Berger Paints, Kansai Nerolac Paints and Akzo Nobel India, reported some sequential improvement, especially from the urban market, along with improvement in sales realisation due to price rise. Moreover, as Diwali is slightly ahead compared to last year, paint manufacturers expect a better performance in August and September. Asian Paints, the largest company in the sector, said the early monsoon was a bit of a dampener, which affected some of its business. "In April and May, the demand was better, but it was strongly impacted by the early monsoon. However, I think the silver lining was that we saw some shoots of demand coming up in urban areas, which were down, and we hope that it continues as we go ahead," Asian Paints Managing...

Higher sales realisation, volume growth boost cement firms' earnings in Q1

Business Standard

Driven by increased government spending on key infrastructure projects, leading cement manufacturers reported a solid performance in the June quarter with a double-digit volume growth and higher sales realisation. Cement makers expect the trend of an overall improvement to continue in FY26. Moreover, lower input costs, such as a decline in coal and petcoke prices, along with stable diesel costs, also helped in improvement on EBITDA terms, which faced a rough patch in FY25. Leading cement maker UltraTech Cement reported a volume growth of 9.7 per cent to 36.83 million tonnes (MT), helped by acquisitions of India Cements and the cement business of Kesoram Industries. Similarly, Adani Group firm Ambuja Cements also reported its highest-ever cement sales volume of 18.4 MT and its highest-ever quarterly revenue at Rs 10,000 crore. Sales volume of Birla Corporation rose 9.36 per cent to 4.79 MT, and Nirma Group firm Nuvoco Vistas Corp reported a sales volume of 5.1 MMT in Q1. JK Lakshm

Assessee must comply with summons issued by tax authority: Supreme Court

Business Standard

The Supreme Court has held that an assessee must comply with a summons and furnish a response to a show cause notice when it is issued by the central or the state tax authority. "Assessee" under the Income Tax Act of 1961 refers to any individual or entity that holds the legal liability of tax payment or any other financial commitments as specified by the Act. Thus, laying down guidelines to prevent duplication of adjudication by central and state GST authorities, a bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan said that mere issuance of a summons does not enable either the issuing authority or the recipient to ascertain that proceedings have been initiated. "Where a summons or a show cause notice is issued by either the Central or the State tax authority to an assessee, the assessee is, in the first instance, obliged to comply by appearing and furnishing the requisite response, as the case may be. "Where an assessee becomes aware that the matter being inquired into or investigat
