(Reuters) -- India's Asian Paints said on Friday it will sell its Indonesian business to Australia's Omega Property Investments for S$7.5 million ($5.6 million), citing growth challenges nine years after entering the market.

The Indian paint maker said early last year that pursuing growth in Indonesia was "tough" due to profitability and cost control being under pressure.
