Our continued emphasis on premiumization delivered encouraging results, leading to an improvement in profitability wherein PAT grew by 18% in Q1FY26. This performance reflects the effectiveness of our strategic framework, which emphasises sustained margin improvement, a sharper focus on premium products, and a complete crop solution provider. The business environment remained broadly favourable during the quarter. The season commenced with an early onset of the Southwest monsoon, healthy reservoir levels and visible signs of global demand recovery with stable raw material prices. Kharif season started well for certain crops like Rice, Maize, while uneven rain in certain parts impacted the sowing of other crops. We are now considered an innovative crop solution provider, wherein we are seen by the farmers as their reliable partner, engaging early from sowing till harvest. And will provide a leadership position in major crops in India. Another transformative step was IIL Crop Solution Plots. These are model fields cultivated using IIL Crop Solutions for major crops, helping farmers and channel partners to experience the benefits in terms of differences in crop health, yield, and overall productivity. During the quarter, we launched three new products, including Altair a patented pre-emergent herbicide for paddy developed by Nissan Chemical Corporation, Japan—which will be exclusively marketed by us in India. With overwhelming response to the new launches of the last few years, we are well-positioned to capitalise on emerging opportunities. Our Dahej facility has received the necessary approvals and will contribute significantly to our growth requirements and efficient operational management. Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about the season, supported by favourable tailwinds such as a strong monsoon, rising reservoir levels, and expanded crop sowing. Our growth outlook remains strong for premium products, driven by deeper farmer connections and continued expansion of our product portfolio. We are deeply committed to sustainability, innovation, and responsible growth with continued focus on delivering long-term value to our stakeholders while making a positive impact on the environment and the communities we serve. With a strong foundation and a clear strategic vision, we are confident in building a resilient and promising future for our business.” Result PDF
