Key Highlights: Q1 FY25

Announcing the results, Dr Gyanendra Shukla, Managing Director & CEO, Rallis India Limited, said, 

″The agrochemical Industry continues to face growth challenges due to muted price arising from oversupplies. Domestic demand is looking positive with monsoon arrival and pickup.

Our revenue for Q1 FY25 was at ₹783 Cr at par with ₹782 Cr of Q1 FY24, Profit after tax was ₹48 Cr, as compared to ₹63 Cr of Q1 PY. Crop care delivered strong volume led revenue growth of 8%. Seeds revenue was down by 16% vs PY largely due to supply constraints. Despite market challenges, concerted actions were taken to drive margins through better product mix and dynamic pricing. We are pleased with the progress of our new launch of ″Clasto″ in Crop Protection and ″Diggaz″ in Cotton Seeds. Water Soluble Fertilizers (WSF) plant was commissioned during the quarter to support the Crop Nutrition Business.

We remain cautious about the export market and expect a gradual recovery during the year. Sentiments for the domestic market are positive with the recent monsoon pick-up.

On a long-term basis, Customer Centricity will remain a key thrust and we will continue to offer differentiated solutions to solve varying farmer needs. We will further intensify our efforts to build capabilities in Manufacturing, Digitalization and leverage Collaborations and Alliances″.
