About the Brand

Cities with Outlets

These figures are for Asian Paints Ltd (NSE/BSE-listed), not this brand alone — separate from what a single franchise outlet earns.

A profitable franchisor doesn't mean profitable franchisees. These are the company's numbers, not an outlet's. A franchisor can grow on fees and supplies while outlets struggle — talk to existing franchisees and see their accounts before you decide.
