MUMBAI, 19 October 2025: Rallis India Limited, a Tata Enterprise and one of India’s leading agri-inputs companies, announced a steady performance for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2025, with profit growth despite challenging weather conditions.
The company reported a 4 per cent year-on-year rise in profit after tax (PAT) for the second quarter to ₹102 crore from ₹98 crore a year earlier. Revenue during the quarter stood at ₹861 crore, compared with ₹928 crore in Q2 FY25 — a decline of 7 per cent due to erratic and prolonged rains that affected field activity and spray applications. The PAT margin improved by 120 basis points to 11.8 per cent, reflecting operational discipline and cost management.
EBITDA for Q2 stood at ₹154 crore against ₹166 crore in the same quarter last year. Free cash flow stood at ₹52 crore, while the company maintained zero external debt and a healthy cash and liquid balance of ₹454 crore, underscoring its strong financial position.
For the half year ended September 2025, Rallis India posted revenue of ₹1,818 crore, up 6 per cent from ₹1,711 crore in H1 FY25. EBITDA rose 16 per cent to ₹303 crore, while PAT grew by 35 per cent to ₹197 crore compared with ₹146 crore last year. The PAT margin improved to 10.8 per cent, from 8.5 per cent previously, aided by operational efficiency and an improved product mix.
On the business front, the Crop Care B2B segment grew 14 per cent on the back of higher capacity utilisation and volume recovery in key molecules. However, the Crop Protection B2C business declined 10 per cent due to adverse weather, while the Soil & Plant Health segment fell 20 per cent amid regulatory challenges in the biostimulants category.
Exports were a bright spot, growing 33 per cent during the quarter, driven by stronger demand in key markets. The Seeds business reported revenue of ₹101 crore, down from ₹141 crore in Q2 FY25, due to supply chain constraints, though higher margins and pricing offset part of the impact.
Rallis expanded its portfolio with eight new product launches during H1 FY26—Penflor, Allato, Deeweed, Dodrio, Master Gold, Torris, Vaar, and Teer—strengthening its position in herbicides and fungicides. The company also resumed in-house biostimulant production, enhancing its presence in sustainable crop solutions.
Commenting on the performance, Dr. Gyanendra Shukla, Managing Director & CEO, said:
“Q2 was challenging due to prolonged rains which impacted field activities and product placement. Despite these headwinds, our profitability remained stable, supported by export momentum, prudent cost management, and improved margins in the Seeds business. Our strong balance sheet, zero external debt, and healthy cash position underscore our financial discipline and operational resilience.”
Rallis India reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable growth and innovation in the Indian agri-inputs sector, focusing on product diversification, market expansion, and farmer-centric solutions.
