Grasim said its paints subsidiary, Birla Opus, expanded revenue market share by 30 basis points sequentially in Q1FY27. Including Birla White Putty, the combined revenue market share is nearing the early teens. Grasim’s Q1 results beat estimates, with losses at Birla Opus narrowing more than expected, according to Motilal Oswal. Brokerages are watching whether Birla Opus can challenge Asian Paints' dominance.
