PI Industries bets on innovation-led growth as agrochem headwinds mount
PI Industries is shifting from contract manufacturing to its own research and non-agri areas like pharma and speciality chemicals. The move comes after weak quarterly numbers: revenue fell 10% to ₹1,702 crore and net profit dropped 39% to ₹244 crore in Q1 FY27. For business owners, this shows how global competition is squeezing Indian agrochemical firms. Watch for the launch of its first new insecticide.
Key Statutory Highlights
