Commenting on the quarterly results,  Arun Alagappan, Executive Vice Chairman, Coromandel International Limited said:

“Agri inputs industry experienced a challenging quarter with external headwinds such as below normal monsoons and lower crop sowings. The NBS rates for Rabi season underwent a steep downward revision which coupled with the rising raw material prices further impacted the industry’s performance. Overall, the phosphatic industry’s primary sales witnessed a degrowth in volumes by 17% during the quarter. Despite the challenges, Coromandel’s Nutrient and Allied businesses improved its market share during the quarter amidst decline in sales volumes. The Crop Protection business of the company reported a healthy volume growth of 21%, improving its performance in exports and domestic markets. Coromandel has also continued its engagement on CDMO opportunities and has initiated marketing of Specialty Chemicals products from its existing manufacturing facilities.
