    Management Summary

    Indogulf Cropsciences delivered a strong Q3 FY26, with revenue growing 17% to ₹116.1 crores and EBITDA up 16% to ₹11.7 crores, driven by robust performance across B2C and B2B segments and significant contribution from AGPL. The company also expanded its international footprint. However, PAT was affected by a one-time tax adjustment, and a new facility commissioning is delayed to Q1 FY27.

    Highlights

    5
    • Strong and resilient performance with Q3 FY26 revenue growth of 17% YoY to ₹116.1 crores, despite challenging operating environment.

    • Healthy growth in profitability with Q3 FY26 EBITDA increasing by 16% to ₹11.7 crores and PBT up from ₹4.6 crores to ₹7.4 crores.

    • Sustained robust growth momentum in 9M FY26 with revenue up 19.3% to ₹553 crores and EBITDA up 23% to ₹53.6 crores.

    • AGPL's significant contribution to growth and profitability, achieving ₹54 crores in gross sales in 9M FY26.

    • Successful entry into new international markets (Venezuela, Taiwan, Sudan) with initial orders of ₹4-5 crores expected to be executed in Q4 FY26.

    Concerns

    3
    • Q3 FY26 PAT growth was impacted by a higher tax provision related to earlier years, an accounting adjustment that had a one-time impact.

    • Crop protection segment experienced softer growth in Q3 due to extended monsoon and lower agrochemical off-take in certain pockets.

    • Capacity expansion project for the new facility in Barwasni is delayed by 2-3 months due to the GRAP situation in Delhi NCR, now expected by Q1 FY27.

    Why it matters

    The new facility is crucial for future capacity expansion and growth across all three sectors.

    Due to this GRAP situation in Delhi NCR, 2 to 3 months have been impacted and maybe there will be a little delay in that project by those 2 to 3 months. Maybe by Q1 end of 2027, we will be starting our new facility as well.

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Q3 & 9M FY26 Financial Performance Overview

    Indogulf Cropsciences reported a strong Q3 FY26, with revenue from operations increasing by 17% year-on-year to ₹116.1 crores. EBITDA grew by 16% to ₹11.7 crores, and Profit Before Tax (PBT) rose from ₹4.6 crores in Q3 FY25 to ₹7.4 crores. For the nine months ended December 31, 2025 (9M FY26), revenue from operations reached ₹553 crores, marking a robust 19.3% year-on-year growth. EBITDA for 9M FY26 increased by 23% to ₹53.6 crores, and PBT was up 33.2% to ₹39.1 crores, reflecting improved operating leverage and product mix.

    02

    Segmental and Regional Growth Drivers

    In 9M FY26, all three verticals demonstrated healthy growth: Biologicals grew by 15%, Plant Nutrition by 23%, and Crop Protection by 14%. The combined revenue from Biologicals and Plant Nutrition increased to ₹56 crores from ₹47 crores in the prior year. Both B2C and B2B segments showed strong performance, with B2C growing 16% to ₹301.6 crores and B2B growing 26% to ₹219.4 crores. Regionally, Tamil Nadu led with 80% growth, followed by Haryana (66%), Bihar (58%), Uttar Pradesh (31%), and Himachal (22%).

    03

    AGPL's Contribution and Future Expansion

    Abhiprakash Globus Private Limited (AGPL) made a significant contribution in its first full year of operations, achieving gross sales of ₹54 crores in 9M FY26. AGPL's performance was bolstered by operational efficiencies, channel alignment, and a better product mix, supporting margin expansion. The company plans to expand AGPL's footprint into additional states, particularly in central India, to strengthen its geographic presence and widen its customer base.

    04

    Strategic Initiatives and Market Outlook

    Indogulf has consciously normalized its inventory levels, positioning itself to benefit from improving demand trends. The company anticipates good potential for demand in Q4 FY26 and Q1 FY27, supported by a healthier supply chain and improved market sentiment. Regulatory tailwinds, such as the Draft Pesticide Management Bill 2025 and the proposed Seed Bill 2025, are expected to benefit organized players by prioritizing quality control and digital traceability.

    05

    International Market Expansion

    The company made steady progress on its international growth agenda, successfully entering new markets like Venezuela, Taiwan, and Sudan during the quarter. Initial orders totaling approximately ₹4-5 crores have been received from these countries and are expected to be executed in Q4 FY26. These new market entries are part of a strategy to build a broader global footprint, diversify revenue streams, and leverage the product portfolio in high-potential international markets.

    06

    Capacity Expansion Update

    The commissioning of the new facility at Barwasni has been delayed by 2-3 months due to the GRAP (Graded Response Action Plan) situation in Delhi NCR. The company now expects the new facility to be operational by the end of Q1 FY27. This expansion is anticipated to reflect positively in future performance and support growth across all three sectors.

    07

    Product Strategy and Volume Growth

    Management indicated that the revenue growth achieved was primarily quantitative, with minimal price impact. Quantitative incremental growth was estimated to be 1% to 2% higher than value-wise growth due to a slight average drop in prices. The company plans to launch four to five new products in Q1 FY27, as product launches are typically concentrated in the first two quarters of the year to align with state-wise campaigns.
