While the flagship domestic decorative business sustained its low teens' volume growth trajectory (leading to double-digit value growth) and decent growth in the non-auto industrial segment continued, the overall performance was dragged by a sharp deceleration in the automotive segment, said Spark Capital in a report.

It added that despite moderation in growth, operating margin improvement was sustained aided by a benign trend of input prices coupled with multiple price hikes affected last year and it expects this trend to continue in the near-term.
