✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
Rallis India reported a mixed Q4 FY26 with revenue of ₹456 crore (+6% YoY) and PAT of -₹5 crore (improved 52% YoY). The quarter was impacted by a short rabi season and geopolitical disruptions, but the company benefited from volume growth in B2C (14% volume growth) and strong performance in seeds (+23% YoY) and soil/plant health (+27% YoY). Management highlighted a 15-25% cost increase due to the Iran war and expects to pass through most of it via price hikes, though the full impact will depend on monsoon distribution and competitive dynamics. The company is focusing on high-margin segments like herbicides and biologicals, and expects high double-digit growth in seeds for FY27. Key risks include a below-normal monsoon (90% of LPA) and potential demand downtrading by farmers. Overall, the outlook is cautiously optimistic with margin pressure expected to persist.

low · management_commentaryNotable Quotes
We are one of the first ones to announce price increase because we cannot absorb all the cost.
I think inventory has come to normal level. I mean 2 years ago this whole industry was suffering from lot of inventory hangover. I think that has reached to a normal level now.
We are not building inventory beyond kharif... we are very calibrated about what we buy what we sell we'll only buy what we can sell.
