For Q4 FY 25, revenue is ₹430 crore with positive volume growth in domestic business. Control over working capital has enabled strong cash flow from operations. I am particularly pleased with the growth of 23 per cent and 24 per cent in soil & plant health and herbicides categories respectively. Our Innovation Turnover Index is in line with our long-term target of 14 per cent. Seeds business had a turnaround with FY 25 PBT of ₹18 crore primarily driven by North Cotton Hybrid “Diggaz” and cost optimisation actions.”
