Berger Paints India beats Q1 profit estimates on lower taxes
BENGALURU, Aug 9 (Reuters) -Berger Paints India BRGR.NS reported first quarter profit above estimates on Friday, helped by lower tax expenses.
The company reported consolidated net profit of 3.54 billion rupees ($42.2 million) for the April-June period, largely unchanged from year ago, but above analysts' average estimate of 3.42 billion rupees as per LSEG data.
Tax expenses fell 7.7% to 1.12 billion rupees, while discount-spurred volume growth led to revenue rising by 2% to 30.91 billion rupees.

KEY CONTEXT
Indian paintmakers have reported a largely mixed set of earnings, as some were able to diversify into sectors beyond real estate and stave off tight competition, while others were pressured by weak prices.
Kansai Nerolac KANE.NS and Akzo Nobel India AKZO.NS both reported upbeat first-quarter profits, although Asian Paints ASPN.NS - the country's top paintmaker - posted weaker-than-expected earnings due to competition and price cuts.
Sales value was lower due to price cuts Berger Paints took to woo buyers, and stronger sales was seen in the "high volume, low value" products in the waterproofing and construction chemicals category, CEO and Managing Director Abhijit Roy said in a release.
