The scale-up in production at Jambusar on account of additional capacities in place together with execution against robust order book is contributing towards incremental growth.

A good monsoon augurs well for the industry and we are keenly tracking the favourable impact this is having on demand for our products. The momentum for branded products remains attractive as always. A regular introduction of new molecules together with expanded capacities at our SEZ is driving the business forward on the exports front.
We are leveraging our capabilities across the value chain in Agri Sciences by offering integrated and innovative solutions across research & product development, regulatory services, manufacturing services, marketing and farmer connect initiatives. This approach has opened up interesting opportunities that overlap both domestic and global requirements”.
Outlook
The Company expects to continue delivering incremental performance on the back of: higher traction of new line of products including Vibrant, BioVita, Osheen, Keefun and Legacee; sustained improvement in exports, where commercialized molecules are gaining volume traction and operational efficiencies from scaling up of manufacturing activities; consistent augmentation in pipeline that will result in periodic introductions of innovator products.
