This performance underscores the success of the strategic framework we established —centered around profitable growth, a sharper focus on premium products, and margin enhancement. The overall business environment remained favourable throughout the year. A good monsoon and healthy reservoir levels provided strong tailwinds for rural demand and agri-input consumption. Additionally, stable raw material prices and our deep farmer connect further supported steady demand across markets.'
'Our continued focus on premiumisation yielded positive results, driving an improvement in gross margins. We consciously prioritised value over volume, reflecting our long-term strategy of sustainable, profitable growth. This disciplined approach also led to an improvement in key return metrics, with both ROCE and ROE improving consistently even in FY25, a direct outcome of better product mix and efficient capital allocation,' Aggarwal added.
