These two products will be followed by glass paints, clear coats, floor coatings, exterior coatings for heritage buildings and other products from the collaboration - Berger-Becker Acroma, in India, in the second phase of expansion beginning in September this year.

The products will be imported from Italy until substantial volumes are met before manufacturing in India.

The wood finish market in India is estimated at Rs 300 crore.
