This strategic approach aligns with JSW Paints' ambitious goals in a competitive market, as it aims not only to bolster revenues but also to secure profitability within the current fiscal year. The paints sector is witnessing intensified competition and increased investment, setting the stage for dynamic growth and market share battles among industry players.
