Coromandel International Limited , India’s leading agri-solutions enterprise, today reported a robust performance for the quarter and half-year ended September 30, 2025, reinforcing its position at the forefront of the country’s nutrient, crop protection and sustainable farming ecosystem. Powered by favourable monsoons, strong farm sentiment, and strategic expansion across product and retail channels, the Company delivered healthy top- and bottom-line growth while advancing major capacity enhancement and digital transformation initiatives.

During Q2 FY26, Coromandel’s standalone total income rose to Rs 9,513 crore compared to Rs 7,509 crore in the same quarter last year, a growth of 27 per cent, with EBITDA improving 17 per cent to Rs 1,147 crore. Profit after tax expanded to Rs 816 crore, also up 17 per cent year-on-year. For H1 FY26, standalone revenues reached Rs 16,596 crore, a 35 per cent increase over the previous year, while EBITDA grew 26 per cent to Rs 1,885 crore and PAT climbed 29 per cent to Rs 1,325 crore. Consolidated revenues for the quarter stood at Rs 9,771 crore, with profit after tax at Rs 793 crore, further demonstrating the Company’s consistently strong performance across operating segments.

S. Sankarasubramanian, Managing Director & CEO, Coromandel International, remarked that amidst a favourable agrarian landscape, the Company executed with agility to ensure timely fertilizer availability in key markets, ramping production and distribution in tandem. He emphasized that fertiliser plants operated at full capacity, propelling a 17 per cent sales volume increase in H1, while expanding presence in both existing strongholds and new territories strengthened Coromandel’s standing as India’s market leader in phosphatic fertilizers. He also noted resilient momentum in the Crop Protection business, driven by robust technical exports and increased demand for domestic formulations, supported by new product introductions and the successful integration of acquisitions such as NACL Industries.

The Nutrient and Allied Business delivered a strong second quarter, with standalone revenues of Rs 8,658 crore and profit before interest and tax of Rs 999 crore. With brownfield expansions of sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid facilities at Kakinada progressing as scheduled for commissioning in Q4 FY26, and new initiatives underway to boost NPK production capacity, the Company continues to invest in long-term security of raw materials and finished products through strategic global sourcing agreements. These advancements significantly enhance operational resilience in an increasingly competitive and geopolitically dynamic fertilizer market.

Coromandel’s Crop Protection and Bio Products Business also registered solid growth, reporting quarterly standalone revenues of Rs 829 crore and PBIT of Rs 162 crore. The successful completion of the NACL Industries acquisition during Q2 positions the Company among the country’s foremost crop protection players, expanding its technical platform and strengthening supply capabilities to serve both domestic and international markets. Meanwhile, the Company’s agri-retail network crossed the milestone of 1,000 stores, following the addition of nearly 100 outlets in Q2, expanding access to farm advisory, inputs and precision agriculture services for millions of customers.

Looking ahead, Coromandel is accelerating its innovation pipeline, including the planned establishment of a dedicated water-soluble MAP (Monoammonium Phosphate) fertilizer facility and the continued rollout of agri-drone spraying solutions, climate-smart products, and digital advisory platforms. These strategic moves underscore the Company’s commitment to enhancing farm productivity, enabling sustainability transitions, and elevating rural prosperity in alignment with India’s food security and agricultural modernization priorities.

With a diversified business model, disciplined cost management and enduring market leadership, Coromandel International enters the remainder of FY26 with strong momentum and a reinforced foundation to drive sustainable value creation for farmers, partners and stakeholders across the agricultural value chain.
