Asian Paints and its subsidiary Berger Paints are investing AED 140 million (INR 340 crore) to set up a large-scale manufacturing facility in Abu Dhabi’s KEZAD economic zone. The plant will boost production capacity to 55,800 KL per annum, tapping Middle East demand and strengthening international footprints.
Asian Paints , through Berger Paints Emirates Ltd Co (L.L.C), will establish a major new paint manufacturing facility in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The AED 140 million (approx. INR 340 crore) investment marks the company’s second plant in the region, located on a 100,000-square-meter site at Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD), and capable of producing 55,800 KL per annum.
This expansion enables Asian Paints and Berger Paints to target the growing demand for paints and coatings driven by the Middle East’s booming construction and real estate sectors. KEZAD’s strategic location offers logistical advantages for both domestic supply and export operations, and may confer tax and regulatory benefits.
The company’s push comes alongside strong financial performance, with fixed assets growing 44% year-over-year, reflecting its commitment to scaling up global operations. The new facility will not only generate employment but also support innovative product ranges tailored for harsh regional climates.
