Mumbai-headquartered Kansai Nerolac Paints Limited (KNPL), a subsidiary of Japanese multinational Kansai Paint Co. Ltd. It is India's second-largest paints company and the market leader in the industrial coatings segment.

The company’s annual manufacturing capacity stood at 606 million litres in FY23. Over the years, KNPL has expanded its footprint to Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh, through its subsidiaries. It also has a domestic subsidiary named Nerofix.

The company began its journey in 1920 when it was incorporated as Gahagan Paints and Varnish Company Limited. The company set up a factory at Lower Parel in Mumbai. In 1933, Lead Industries Group acquired the entire stake of the company, and it was renamed Goodlass Wall (India) Ltd.

The company was renamed Goodlass Wall Pvt Ltd in 1946 and then Goodlass Nerolac Paints (GNP) Ltd in 1957 when it also went public.

In 1976, GNP Ltd. became a part of the Tata Forbes Group with Forbes Gokak acquiring a part of its foreign shareholdings. The company bolstered its strength in 1983 through technical collaborations with Kansai Paint Co. Ltd and Nihon Tokushu Toryo Co. Ltd, Japan.

In 1986, GNP became a joint venture of Tata Forbes and Kansai Paint Co. Ltd, with the Japanese multinational picking up a 36% stake held till then by the UK Partner Cookson.

Kansai Paint took over GNP in 2000 by acquiring the entire stake of Tata Forbes group. In 2006, the company’s name was changed to Kansai Nerolac Paints Ltd.

KNPL started looking beyond India in the next decade as it acquired Nepal’s Nepal Shalimar Paints Pvt. Ltd. In 2012, it tied up with Sri Lanka’s Capital Holdings Maharaja Pvt. Ltd, and acquired RAK Paints, Bangladesh, in 2018.

The market capitalisation of Kansai Nerolac Ltd stood at nearly ₹ 25,000 crore, as of February 13, 2024. Kansai Nerolac share price has dropped nearly 20% in the last three years.
