Impact of War:
• The war is leading to fuel inflation and at the same time the raw material costs (RM) costs directly linked to crude will go up. In Berger Paints's case probably about 35- 40% costs get strongly influenced by crude prices.
• Also the war is not going to matter so much because they have some finished goods and raw materials which will last at least March and will possibly carry on till April.
• The solvent-based paints gets directly impacted because when the crude prices go up, the solvent prices also go up along with it. But that portion of sales in this case at least, is less than 20-25% approximately.
