Rallis India Limited, a Tata enterprise and a prominent name in the agri-inputs sector, announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, showcasing robust performance driven by strong market demand and product strategy. According to Dr Gyanendra Shukla, Managing Director & CEO of Rallis India, “Early monsoon activity supported better market placement in Q1. Additionally, we are seeing early signs of recovery in global demand for select products.”
The company reported a revenue of ₹957 crore in Q1 FY26, up 22% from ₹783 crore in the same quarter last year. Profit After Tax (PAT) stood at ₹95 crore, marking a 100% year-on-year increase compared to ₹48 crore in Q1 FY25. Significant volume-led growth was recorded across key segments—13% in Crop Care B2C, 23% in Crop Care B2B, and an impressive 38% in the Seeds business. The Soil & Plant Health segment also registered a 33% rise, in line with strategic goals.
Improvements in product mix and sustained cost optimization efforts contributed to an increase in PAT margins, which rose from 6% in Q1 FY25 to 10% in Q1 FY26. The company highlighted continued growth in its North Cotton seed hybrids, particularly the variety “Diggaz.” Strong working capital management further supported a healthy closing fund balance for the quarter.
Dr Shukla added, “While we remain cautiously optimistic for the coming months, our focus will be on ensuring successful liquidation of placed products, particularly in Crop Care B2C and Seeds. We also anticipate a gradual revival in export markets over the year.”
Long-term strategic focus will remain on customer-centric innovation, strengthening manufacturing capabilities, accelerating digital transformation, and building robust partnerships and collaborations. In the first quarter of FY26, significant strides were made in the crop protection segment with the launch of multiple new formulations. These include Allato (Oxadiargyl 1% + Pretilachlor 6% GR), a herbicide specifically designed for paddy cultivation, and Penflor (Florpyrauxifen-benzyl 1.31% + Penoxsulam 2.1% OD), another herbicide aimed at effective paddy weed control. Deweed (Paraquat 24% + Oxyfluorfen 5% SC), a powerful non-selective herbicide, also joined the portfolio, providing broader application flexibility.
On the fungicide front, Dodrio (Thifluzamide 9% + Difenoconazole 6% + Validamycin 3% SC) was introduced to combat sheath blight in paddy, while Master Gold (Metalaxyl M 4% + Mancozeb 64% WP) was launched for grape growers. The insecticide segment saw the addition of Fiplam (Fipronil 12.5% + Lambda 5% ZC), developed to protect cotton crops from major pests.
Complementing the crop protection line-up, the company expanded its seed portfolio with the launch of 14 new seed varieties across major crops including cotton, bajra, and paddy. These introductions are aligned with efforts to enhance crop yields and meet region-specific agronomic needs. The company’s commitment to sustainability was recognized with the “Resilient Award” for Water Conservation, awarded to the Ankleshwar manufacturing unit. This prestigious accolade was jointly presented by the Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SGCCI) and the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB), highlighting efforts toward responsible resource management.
In addition to operational achievements, the organization was recognized as the “Best Supply Chain & Logistics Company” by Alden Global, showcasing excellence in efficiency and distribution practices. Further, the “Best CSR Initiative” award was conferred by the Indian Chamber of Commerce for the impactful Krishi Vikram program, reinforcing the company’s commitment to farmer welfare and community development.
