The India Powder Coatings Market is being shaped by the JSW Paints-AkzoNobel India transaction, AkzoNobel's Gwalior capacity addition, the PPG-Asian Paints JV renewal through 2041, Berger Paints' eastern India greenfield programme, and the structural shift toward low-VOC, sustainable coating chemistries across automotive, appliance, and architectural end-uses.
The 2025 acquisition of AkzoNobel India's decorative paints business by JSW Paints, with the carve-out of powder coatings and the International Research Centre under continued AkzoNobel ownership, is reshaping the Indian coatings competitive landscape. JSW Paints emerges as the second-largest industrial paints player in India and the fourth-largest in decoratives, while AkzoNobel concentrates its global powder coatings know-how, formulation IP, and Indian production base inside a directly owned subsidiary. The trend is supporting India Powder Coatings Market growth by sharpening AkzoNobel's strategic focus on the powder category, creating a more contestable industrial paints landscape, and freeing capital across both groups for further capacity additions and product innovation.
Capacity additions are accelerating across the leading suppliers. AkzoNobel India commissioned its INR 105 crore Gwalior powder coatings plant (5,166 tonnes per annum) in September 2024 to serve North and Eastern India, while AkzoNobel's parent completed the EUR 21 million Como capacity expansion in February 2024, adding four manufacturing lines. Berger Paints committed INR 2,000 crore for greenfield factories in West Bengal and Odisha and INR 600 crore for the Panagarh resin and chemical plant. The trend is supporting India Powder Coatings Market growth by ensuring lead times shorten, regional service intensifies, and customers in tier-II and tier-III cities gain access to international-standard powder coatings.
The August 2025 renewal of the PPG-Asian Paints joint ventures through 2041, covering automotive, refinish, marine, packaging, protective, and powder coatings, signals long-term confidence in India's industrial coatings demand. The structure preserves PPG's automotive-led JV and Asian Paints' management of the protective and powder JV, mirroring the broader trend of Jotun's Ranjangaon (Pune) plant - which has the capacity to produce up to 50 million litres of wet paint and 10,000 metric tonnes of powder coatings annually - and continued investment by Marpol, Maharani Innovative Paints, and Durolac Paints. The trend is supporting India Powder Coatings Market growth by anchoring multinational R&D, customer service, and powder formulation capability inside India for the long term.
Tightening Indian and global sustainability regulation, combined with corporate decarbonisation goals, are accelerating the structural shift from solvent-based liquid coatings to powder coatings, which emit virtually zero VOCs and offer high transfer efficiency. AkzoNobel's recycled-energy Como lines, the group's commitment to cut carbon emissions by 50% by 2030, and Berger Paints' move to anchor 25-30% renewable energy across its operations are illustrative. The trend is supporting India Powder Coatings Market growth by widening the addressable market for powder in automotive, appliance, ACE, furniture, and architectural end-uses where solvent coatings remain prevalent, and by lifting realised prices for low-cure and bio-based powder formulations.
