Hope this doesn't lead to monopoly in the paints market. CCI should ensure fair competition remains. Consumers need choices and competitive pricing for home renovation projects.

This is a significant consolidation in the paints industry. JSW's entry might disrupt the existing market dynamics dominated by Asian Paints and Berger. Healthy for consumers in long run.
