Crown Paints expects the cost of raw materials to drop in the second half of the year, giving it an opportunity to grow its margins or reduce prices.

The price of basic colourants such as mineral resin, titanium oxide, pigment solvents and additives has dropped by up to 25 percent over the past six months as their demand globally went down.
