Asian Paints Share Price Rises Nearly 5% on Festive Season, Focuses on Premium and Luxury Segments

Shares of Asian Paints Ltd., India’s largest paints manufacturer, rose nearly 5% on Friday, October 17, 2025, marking the stock’s biggest intraday gain since March this year. The Asian Paints share price stood at ₹2,522 as of 12:05 PM on the NSE, reflecting a 4.70% rise.

Global Factors Influence Market Sentiment

Oil prices fell over 1% after US and Russian leaders announced plans to meet in Hungary to discuss ending the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This news eased some geopolitical uncertainties and contributed to a positive market sentiment globally. 

Investors interpreted the potential for lower energy costs as a factor that could improve consumption patterns and corporate margins, indirectly supporting companies like Asian Paints.

Focus on Premium and Luxury Segments

Domestically, Asian Paints is concentrating on reviving urban demand, particularly in the premium and luxury segments. CEO Amit Syngle noted that early signs of demand recovery have been observed in urban centres, while rural markets continue to perform steadily, supported by a generally favourable monsoon this year. 

He added that new product launches, innovative finishes, and marketing campaigns during the festive season are expected to drive a focused recovery.

Investors Eye Earnings and Dividend

Market interest has also been driven by anticipation of Asian Paints’ Q2 FY26 earnings announcement on November 12, 2025. On the same day, the company’s board will review the declaration of an interim dividend, further engaging investors. This combination of seasonal demand, upcoming results, and potential dividends has contributed to upward momentum in the stock.
