Asian Paints, India’s largest paint maker, is expanding its presence in the Middle East with a new manufacturing facility in the United Arab Emirates. Its UAE subsidiary, Berger Paints Emirates Ltd, will invest approximately ₹340 crore (AED 140 million) to set up the second plant in Abu Dhabi.
The new factory will be located in the Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD) and will cover about 100,000 square metres. It is expected to have an initial production capacity of 55,800 kilolitres per year, enabling the company to meet growing demand in the region efficiently.
This investment comes as part of Asian Paints’ broader strategy to strengthen its international footprint and enhance supply chain capabilities. By increasing manufacturing capacity in the UAE, the company aims to serve both local and regional markets better while reducing reliance on imports.
The move also reflects Asian Paints’ focus on catering to the Middle East’s expanding construction and real estate sector, which is driving demand for decorative and industrial paints. Analysts believe that this expansion will help the company consolidate its market share in the region and support long-term growth.
The UAE plant is expected to be operational within the next few years and will complement Asian Paints’ existing overseas operations, ensuring smoother logistics and faster delivery for customers. This step underscores the company’s commitment to global growth while maintaining a strong regional presence in high-demand markets.
