Mr. Kunal Mittal, Senior Vice President, Planning and Coordination Office. Mr. Anil Nawal, Chief Financial Officer. Ms. Deepika Trivedi, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer. Colleagues from SGA, their investor relations advisors. Now I hand the conference over to Mr. Chetan Shah, Managing Director of Sumitomo Chemical India Limited. Thank you, and over to you, Mr. Shah. Ladies and gentlemen, a very good afternoon to all of you, and welcome to the conference call to discuss Q4 and financial year 2025/2026 performance of our company, Sumitomo Chemical India Limited. To begin with, I will try to provide a summary of agrochemical industry landscape during the year. According to my assessment, this was one of the most challenging years in the Indian agrochemical industry that I have personally seen. Prolonged and excess rainfall through the peak kharif consumption window from mid-July through September and into October curtailed farmers' field activity across the country. Key crops including soybean, cotton, groundnut, and chili suffered damage across the multiple geographies of the country. The rabi season recovery was more subdued than we had anticipated. Biostimulants regulatory constraints affected the PGR and biological categories for a significant part of the year. West Asia geopolitical tension and global trade uncertainties added further complexity to the operating environment in the month of March 2026. In short, it was an unstable year. I am extremely pleased to report that Sumitomo Chemical India demonstrated stability in an unstable environment. We delivered highest-ever profitability performance in FY 2026. Highest-ever absolute terms and highest-ever margin terms. Our PAT grew by more than 7% year-over-year to INR 543 crores. PBT before exceptional items grew by more than 9% year-over-year. Our gross profit margin stand at 42%, and our EBITDA margin stand at 20.7%. Our net profit margins are 16.8%. All record levels, in the history of Sumitomo Chemical India. We achieved all of this while growing top line by 3%, maintaining complete pricing integrity, recording negligible returns of goods from the channel, and only in exceptional genuine situations, we took the goods back. We ensured that instead of dumping the material, we only supply the material to the channel based on actual ground-level demand forecast and avoiding any short-term performance-enhancing measures. One dimension of our Q4 2026 performance that I want to single out for specific mention is the exceptional field engagement effort that our senior management and commercial teams undertook in the rabi season. In what was one of the more intensive demand generation exercises, a significant number of our senior sales team leaders went directly to the field during this period to work alongside our sales teams and demand generation teams to reinforce farmer connect at the ground level and also engage with the channel partners. That effort was a direct expression of the culture to this organization and of our conviction that sustainable market leadership is built through consistent personal engagement with the farmer community and ground-level demand pull and not through push. Before I hand over to Suresh, I want to address the changes in the board composition and management structures that are proposed to take effect from 1st September 2026. I believe the quality and the continuity of our leadership transition is itself a mark of this organization's maturity. First, on the proposed changes in the independent director side. Dr. Mukul Asher, our current chairman and independent director, completes his final term on 31st August 2026. We would like to convey our deep appreciation to Dr. Mukul Asher for outstanding leadership over a long period of time and immense contribution in our company's successful journey. Mr. N. Sivaraman is proposed to be reappointed as independent director for a further term of three years through 31st August 2029. Mr. Anand Mohan Tiwari is proposed to be appointed as a new independent director effective 31st August 2026, for a term of two years through 30th August 2028. Mr. Tiwari has over 30 years of distinguished experience in public administration, governance, energy, fertilizers, and social development through leadership roles in Indian Administrative Service and major state enterprises in fertilizer and chemical sectors. I'll come to the proposed change in management and executive side. My current term as managing director will be my final term in the current position. With effect from September 1st, 2026, subject to shareholders' approval at the upcoming annual general meeting, it is proposed that I will be appointed as non-executive, non-independent director. Following such appointment, the board will consider my appointment as the chairman. Mr. Sushil Marfatia's term as executive director also concludes on 31st August 2026, and he will retire from the board. Dr. Suresh Ramachandran, who is currently serving as deputy managing director, will be elevated to the position of managing director with effect from September 1st, 2026. On the management structure from September 26th, the organization chart has been provided in our investors presentation for clarity and transparency. Mr. Kunal Mittal, as executive vice president alongside senior vice president Hajime Shinomiya and Fumio Suzuki will anchor the senior management layer, ensuring that the depth of capability below the board remains intact and effective. The organization is ready. Leadership bench is strong to approach this transition with confidence. Both myself and Mr. Sushil Marfatia kindly retire from full-time executive roles with effect from 31st August 2026. It is proposed that both of us will continue engagement through advisory roles and our key objective would be to ensure smooth transition and mentoring the new management team, including Suresh Ramachandran and Kunal Mittal. Let me hand over to Suresh Ramachandran to walk you through Q4 and FY 2026 operating performance and market outlook for FY 2027. Suresh Ramachandran, over to you. Thank you, Chetan Shah, and good afternoon to everyone on the call. I'll focus my remarks on the operational dimensions of our performance, the category dynamics, business mix, market conditions, and new product outcomes that drove our results in quarter four and financial year 2026. The headline revenue growth of 3% for FY 2026 understates the underlying momentum of the core crop protection business for two reasons. The interim reduction in animal nutrition distribution revenues and the adverse agro-climatic condition that suppressed industry-wide demand through the kharif window. On business mix, domestic revenue grew by 4% year-on-year in both quarter four and the full year, with the domestic franchise demonstrating genuine resilience. Our branded formulation share in domestic sales improved to 81% in FY 2026 from 79% in FY 2025, reflecting the ongoing structural shift towards higher quality, higher margin revenue. Export revenues declined 7% in quarter four and 1% for the full year, primarily due to shipment difference in select geographies and softer demand conditions in certain markets. On logistics specifically, global container availability remained somewhat constrained towards the end of quarter four, especially in March and into the early part of FY 2027, with some shipment delays experienced, including to Africa. We assess these delays as episodic and manageable rather than structural things. Costs have been passed on to customers wherever applicable as much as possible. We are not viewing this as a significant drag on our business. On product categories in FY 2026, herbicides registered a strong growth 87% year-over-year in quarter four and 19% for the full year, driven by healthy traction of our soybean herbicide flumioxazin, very good adoption of our newly launched rice herbicide Lentigo, and our flagship brand of glyphosate, Mera 71. Metal phosphates grew 16% in quarter four and 11% for the full year. Insecticides remained broadly resilient, the consumption of insecticides were broadly affected because of the monsoon conditions. The biostimulant segment was impacted by regulatory constraints through much of the year. Those clearances came through for us in November and December of 2025. Since we have commenced sales under the new approvals. We have additionally obtained the registration of a new biostimulant called Top Grain from our parent company, SCC or SBC, Sumitomo Biorational Company portfolio, which we would be launching in the upcoming growing [season nine. Yeah, it's 100 CU]. We generate approximately 8%-10% of our revenues from biologicals, already well above the industry average of below 5%. We expect this share and absolute revenue contribution to grow meaningfully from FY 2027 onwards as the new framework takes full effect. On new products, seven products were launched during FY 2026. Lentigo and Excalia Max, which are our proprietary technology, patented technologies from our parent company. Both the products have been accepted very well, and we could meet our internal or exceed our internal targets even in a weather-affected season of last year. On digital outreach, on our continued expansion of digital outreach to farmers, overall 20% localized landing pages have been increased, 35% precision-targeted digital campaigns increased, and about 60% increase in digital touch points annually with a 17% reduction in engagement cost. Our Sumitomo Connect and Sumitomo Field Connect field force applications are embedded in day-to-day operations, and we are rolling out our MDO tracking application in the current financial year. These are substantive capability investment, and they will compound our competitive advantage over time. The company also received external recognition for innovation-led marketing excellence, winning the Gen AI-led Creative Award at the prestigious ad:tech New Delhi event for our digital campaign for SumiMax. Products launched in the past three years now contributes to approximately 8% of our total domestic revenue, a healthy and growing share that reflects the accelerating pace of new product adoption by the farmers. Looking further ahead, our new product pipeline from SCC global portfolio gives a strong visibility to the next three to five years. Out of the three or four molecules, only one, which is Excalia Max, has been introduced. That is INDIFLIN has been introduced in the past financial year. That leaves us with another couple of more products in the pipeline to be launched in the coming years based on the regulatory approvals. These products that have built our specialty business to 30% of our domestic revenues. It's these same new technologies where we will focus to build up the volume will continue to drive the structural quality improvement in our revenue mix over the next several years. Let me turn to FY 2027 and talk about the opportunities and the risks we see. On the demand side, the Indian agriculture sector remains resilient and continues to be optimistic, as you would have seen the minimum support price have also been increased by the Government of India. Few risks warrant careful monitoring. First of them is timely and adequate supply of fertilizers for Indian farmers, which may influence farming activities and cropping patterns or crop shifts can happen during the upcoming season. Second risk is related to monsoon. IMD has forecast the southwest monsoon to be 92% of the long period average, placing it in the below normal category. Global weather agencies, including NOAA, are indicating 82% probability of El Niño emergence during the May to July period. Indian agriculture today is structurally more resilient than it was a decade ago, with nearly 55% of net sown area having access to assured irrigation, and that provides a meaningful partial buffer. However, our company supply chain planning is on the basis of normal kharif season, and we are calibrating our inventory buildup and channel stocking accordingly. The actual monsoon arrival over the next two days, few weeks, and the distribution over the next three to four months till September will be the most crucial and important variable for the industry to monitor. On cost and pricing, FY 2027 will be characterized by headwinds from depreciating rupee, escalating cost across raw materials, packaging materials, solvents, transportation, driven by geopolitical developments. Cost pressures have built already and continue to build, the company has been gradually and systematically passing on these increases to the market, and we have been reasonably successful in doing so till now. We plan to continue the following this approach, calibrated product-by-product market condition-sensitive price management, rather than a one-time blunt increase. We enter FY 2027 with production running at full capacity and no supply side constraints. Our planning assumption is that for now, demand is holding up and cost increases are being absorbed by the market. The situation Q1 FY 2027 looks constructive overall, though we acknowledge that Q2 FY 2027 and the second half of the year will be largely shaped by monsoon outcomes and global dynamics, particularly in the context of the ongoing geopolitical environment. Overall, for FY 2027, we are cautiously optimistic of the upcoming season based on the situations I described above. With that, I hand it over to my colleague, Mr. Kunal Mittal, to take us through the next segment. Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you, Dr. Suresh. Our company's balance sheet remains essentially tax-free. Our cash and cash equivalents, including liquid investments as on 31st March 2026, were at approximately INR 2,113 crore. Return on capital employed improved to 31% from 29% the year before. Our net worth grew to INR 3,394 crore, a 17% year-on-year increase funded entirely through retained earnings. On our capital expenditure program, we want to reconfirm our commitment to invest in infrastructure for expanding our manufacturing portfolio, especially for our parent company's proprietary product portfolio, including some of the newly launched patented products globally. All the CapEx projects which were announced earlier are progressing well, especially from infrastructure creation point of view. Subject to receiving regulatory approvals in timely manner from respective exports market, which are being undertaken by our parent companies. Currently, we are on track to meet the expected commercialization timelines of these CapEx projects. In addition to various CapEx projects which were already announced earlier and under implementation, our company is at advanced stages for completing techno-commercial feasibility for few additional CapEx projects. We will keep you updated as we receive formal approvals from our board and our parent company, SCC, for such additional CapEx projects. Our expectation and endeavor is that we can continue sustained pipeline of CapEx projects and investments over the next decade. We want to also update you on three more new initiatives. First one is a key development which is towards early-stage trials and launch of new products in India. India has now been elevated by our parent company, SCC, Japan, to the same tier as Japan, Brazil, North America, and Europe for the early-stage testing and early introduction of new molecules from our parent company, SCC's Global Discovery Pipeline. We have already received two such molecules for trials in Indian condition on various crops and various geographies, and these trials are ahead of their global launch in the global market. This is a very important development and a signal of the confidence that our parent company has in the capabilities, scientific, manufacturing, commercial and regulatory on SCIL. What we have built in India over the past 25 years, confidence SCC has in that. We intend to honor that confidence by executing these new product launches, the entire life cycle of that with excellence. The second point we want to update about animal nutrition business. As you would recall, during financial year 2025/2026, we had announced that the company had discontinued distribution of animal nutrition products in India due to global realignment of the distribution strategy. However, recently, some of these products are facing lot of global challenges in terms of supply chain and also servicing to the customers, including the logistic delays. In this kind of a situation, in discussion with our customers, Indian customers, which were built over last many years, and also some of these third-party distributors, which our parent company had appointed, and also in full alignment and discussion with our parent company, our company plans to restart distribution of these products immediately, and we will continue distribution of these products for near future. One more important update about animal nutrition businesses. These are the products which are commodity in nature. In the current geopolitical situation, the pricing and supply availability of this product is very dynamic and volatile. Also pricing has increased significantly in last few months, what we have observed. While we don't know how long such kind of a trend will continue, but as on today, it looks like that we will continue distribution of this product for some more time, and the pricing is on a higher side as compared to the historical averages. This may add to some additional revenues for the company in the near future. However, as you would recall, the profitability of these products is limited due to the limited scope being played by SCIL, and the profitability is approximately 4%-5% level. While this may add to some sort of a turnover increase, but from the profitability point of view, it is not expected to be a material and significant increase. Another point which we wanted to update is about a new royalty arrangement, which we are discussing with our parent company. As you would recall, based on our past interaction, we have always maintained that we are not paying any kind of royalty to our parent company, and we really thank our parent company for such kind of arrangements. What is happening today is all our parent company innovated molecules, we get right to exclusively distribute these products in Indian market using the global brand name and trademark of our parent company. In many of the cases, we continue to buy the technical goods from our parent company. After that, using the technology provided by our parent company, we are doing local formulation of these products, and then we are distributing these products in Indian market using the trademark and brand name provided by our parent company. For these technologies and intellectual properties, including brand, know-how, and these trademarks, no royalty was charged in the past. As per our request, since it is possible to procure some of these products at a better pricing situation as compared to the supply prices from SCC, our parent company has agreed our request and allowed us to buy these technical products from outside. That means the obligation of buying the technical goods from our parent company is proposed to be waived off for selected two or three products. In this kind of a situation, what we have committed to our parent company, that we may pay a small percentage royalty only specifically for these two or three shortlisted products, wherein SCC, our parent company, will allow us to buy the technical goods from outside, but we will continue to use their technical knowhow, their trademarks and their brand name for distributing and manufacturing these products in Indian local market. We believe that this arrangement, as agreed by our parent company, will overall increase to our margin profile, and they will also help us expand this product business in our domestic Indian market. Overall, in the scheme of things, these percentage terms and these amounts is specifically only for two or three shortlisted products, and the total amount of royalties also expected to be very immaterial. In our annual report, we plan to disclose a cap of ₹2 crore, the actual number of royalty is expected to be lower than this. We just wanted to give you some of these strategic initiatives which we have implemented recently. Now I would like to hand over the call to our CFO, Mr. Anil Nawal, to please take us through our consolidated financial performance. Thank you, Kunal. Good afternoon, everyone. Let me begin with quarter four, FY 2025/2026. For quarter four FY 2026, revenue from operation was INR 684 crore, up 1% year-on-year. Q4 revenue recorded a reduction in animal nutrition revenue from INR 65.3 crore in Q4 FY 2025 to INR 37.5 crore in Q4 FY 2026. Gross profit grew 6% to INR 289 crore at a gross margin of 42.3%, expanding 223 basis points. EBITDA grew 12% to INR 134 crore at a margin of 19.6%, expanding 202 basis points. PBT, before exceptional item, grew 11% year-on-year. PAT, profit after tax, grew 12% to INR 111 crore at a PAT margin of 16.3%, expanding 159 basis points. Now turning to our full year performance for FY 2025/2026. For FY 2026, revenue from operation was INR 3,238 crore, up 3% year-on-year. From a product mix perspective, insecticides remained the largest contributor at 41% of total revenue. Herbicides registered strong growth of 19% year-on-year in FY 2026, supported by healthy traction in our rice herbicides portfolio, particularly Lentigo. Metal phosphates grew 11% year-on-year, while our overall specialty mix continued to improve, with branded product now representing 81% of domestic revenue and 40% of export revenue. Our FY 2026 gross margin expanded 42% from 41% in FY 2025, an improvement of 107 basis points. This reflecting the structural improvement in our business mix, a greater contribution from specialty product, calibrated pricing actions and disciplined procurement. On an absolute basis, gross profit grew 6% year-on-year to INR 1,361 crore from INR 1,290 crore in FY 2025. EBITDA was INR 671 crore, up 6% year-on-year, at an EBITDA margin of 20.7%, an improvement of 64 basis points. An exceptional charge of INR 16.1 crore was recorded in FY 2026 on account of newly notified labor codes. Profit before tax was INR 728 crore, up 7% year-on-year, at a PBT margin of 22.5%. Net profit was INR 543 crore, up 7% year-on-year, at a net profit margin of 16.8% and improvement of 68 basis points. On working capital, our net working capital stood at 103 days as of 31st March 2026 versus 89 days a year ago. The increase reflects our two deliberate factors: A seasonal inventory buildup ahead of Kharif to ensure uninterrupted product availability in an environment of global supply chain volatility, and a reduction in payable days, reflecting the tighter credit terms in uncertain times and our strengthening procurement positions. Receivable days improved meaningfully from 91 days- 83 days. Total collection during FY 2026 were approximately INR 3,726 crore, as compared to INR 3,534 crore in FY 2025, an increase of approximately 5%. These outcomes in what was a challenging collection environment across the industry reflect the sustained discipline of our credit management practices and quality of our channel relationship. The company continues to follow a rigorous margin-based profitability first approach to working capital management, and we intend to maintain and strengthen our discipline going forward. I also want to talk about our foreign currency exposure as the depreciation of Indian rupee has been a subject of market-wide discussion. Our export and import are approximately equal in value, running at roughly $70 million-$80 million each on annual basis. The net foreign currency exposure of business is largely self-hedging, and the impact of rupee depreciation on our overall profitability has been broadly neutral. We also hedge our foreign currency exposure and do not carry any unhedged currency risk, and this is a structural feature of our business model that we believe is well understood but worth reiterating clearly. We will now take a pause from our side and request moderator to open the floor for questions one by one. Thank you very much. We will now begin with the question and answer session. Your first question comes from the line of Rajas Joshi from ChrysCapital. Please go ahead. Thank you for the opportunity. Am I audible? No, sir. There is a lot of airy disturbance from your side. Is it better now? This is much better, sir. Yes. Yeah. Good afternoon, team. I was going through your parent's presentation for the full year that ended recently. In the presentation on the slide on ICT and mobility solutions sector, which is for semiconductor materials, there's specific mention of the parent planning for commercialization of high purity semiconductor chemicals in India in their deck. I just wanted to get your color or your thoughts on how you look at this development and what plans, if at all any, would be for us in this segment. Yes, you are right. There was a mention by our parent company in various forums about this topic. We are working very closely with ICTM department of Sumitomo Chemical Japan. So far, all the meetings with the government officials, the customers, or whatever you may call, it's all happened jointly with us. We are as much as you are, maybe little more than that, we are also looking forward for this project to fructify. Lot of work and lot of inputs are being given by us on this project. Hopefully, very soon, you may officially hear from us about the project of purified chemicals for semiconductor business. Understood. Sir, secondly, on the export piece, right? Given the recent tensions in the Middle East, there's been an uptick in prices of certain products, both technicals and correspondingly from business as well. How is that expected to feed into both demand and correspondingly the elevated prices helping us in the margins front to some extent on the export side? Yeah. Yes, in overall, if you look at it, there has been cost escalation. I described during the commentary. Which we are trying to pass on as much as possible. Yes, the price realization has been better, especially from let's say, late of March. It may not translate completely into percentage margin because the cost is going up and the price is going up. It's probably along net neutral or plus or minus few percentage point. That's about it. It all depends on how the situation is going to be. If the war continues, if all the costs are going to keep going up or remain at this level, the pricing may be able to continue. More than the pricing, the supplies. Which supplier is able to make the supplies as per the customer demand will play a crucial role in terms of the business. Understood, sir. In terms of volumes, is there any movement expected there on the export side? It's too early to comment for the current financial year. The indications are there. It all depends on how the logistics situation is going to pan out, how the cost escalation is going to happen, how those country customers are going to afford to pay their, in the current situation of cost. If they are willing to pay, there would be upside. It all depends on how the situation is going to unfold in the next couple of months. Understood, sir. Lastly, if you could please call out the revenue number for sales under the custom synthesis kind of division that we have wherein we sell products to our parent. If you can just call out that number if possible, which is classified as CRAMS or CSM, how you call it. It is roughly in the range of INR 100-150 crore, depending upon the market situation in terms of volumes at this current level. As we have explained, some of the projects are underway in the implementation side, and once those projects are implemented from next financial year onwards, we are expecting some growth in those numbers. For the time being, this number is roughly in the range of INR 100-150 crore. Perfect. Thanks a lot, sir, for the detailed answer. Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Probal Sen with ICICI Securities. Please go ahead. Thank you for the opportunity, sir. I hope I am audible. Yes, you are audible. Sir, a couple of questions. Firstly, the commentary obviously did talk about the kind of monitorables and constraints that may be there in FY 2027. Despite demand being resilient, the kind of monsoon uncertainty as well as the Gulf conflict and all, is it fair to therefore look at margins a bit more cautiously for this year? I understand that you did mention that cost increases are being passed on. With the kind of momentum one sort of sees in margins being probably constrained by these situations, how should we actually look at the margin trend? Flattish versus this year, or even a possibility of some decline that can be there? Just your thoughts on that. That was my first question. Many years, I mean, not many, but few years back when our profit margin increased, I was asked questions by lot many people whether this is one-off or this is sustainable. I very confidently at that time had said that the margins which we are getting will be the most sustainable margin, and they are all achievable every single year. I am happy to note that because of our groundwork, because of our product mix, because of our flexibility of giving the right product at the right time and concentrating on our portfolio in a much, much better manner, we are able to give or ensure the margins on a sustainable basis. We will do the same thing continuously to ensure that margins are sustainable. I understand, even when we got our cost increases in the month of March and all that, we were very uncomfortable as to how these costs are going to be passed on and how the market is going to react. We have had on 15th of March, a price increase, on 1st of April, a price increase, on 1st of May, a price increase, and now we will see whether we can increase the prices on 1st June. It is a very cautious approach. We control our cost, certain costs like raw material prices going up or the freight charges going up or solvent prices going up because of the naphtha and oil prices, all that is not in our hands. We have to be very cautious in ensuring that this cost does not go out of our sustainable margins. It has to be passed on. We have, as I gave you an example, that we already increased the price three times within this, 15th March till now. That is what we'll continue to do, but we'll ensure that our margins are sustainable. Understood, sir. Perfectly clear. My second question was with respect to inventory levels and working capital. Again, coming back to the uncertainties with respect to the supply chains of materials and imports, has there been any change in the kind of days of inventory that we are holding as of now, particularly for the first quarter? What has happened is that we have deliberately purchased more and deliberately produced more during the fourth quarter in order to be ready for the new season. While we do that every year, but this year, the focus was more, like we saw the trend of packing materials going up. Instead of 90 days inventory, we went for more number of days of inventory. Even certain crucial raw materials, which was oil or naphtha based, we have extra inventory. All those things actually ultimately will benefit us because prices of this packaging material or raw materials are constantly still going up. Right. As a matter of fact, it is better for us to have a little bit more inventory rather than depending last minute on the raw materials and packing materials. What it has really proved to be a boon for us is that currently the freight or the transportation lead time has increased for every shipment from abroad and more so every shipment within the country. Even if you want, say, packaging material, the people say we are not getting the trucks. Instead of four days, it will take eight days. Raw materials, same thing. Within India, the lead time has gone up and we are far better off in having the inventory, that extra inventory to meet out that extra lead time. Got it, sir. Third question, if I may slip one more in. With respect to the new product pipeline, I believe Kunal did mention about the three, four new pipeline molecules that have been under development, of which Excalia Max has already been launched and is showing great results. Just wanted to understand for FY 2027, can we expect any one of these molecules to be commercialized and launched? If you can provide some color on that. Yeah. As I said, Excalia Max was launched during last kharif. I also mentioned another molecule, which is a group company molecule, Sumitomo Biorational Company, Top Grain, a biostimulant. We got the registration towards the end of last year, which we expect to commercialize in the coming kharif. There is one more product which we are expecting registration. Obviously, once the registration we get it, our endeavor would be to launch within this financial year. Got it, sir. Thank you very much. I'll come back in the queue. All the best. Thank you. The next question comes from the line of Animesh Jain with Dalal & Broacha. Please go ahead. Hello. Thank you for the opportunity. Can you tell me about our facing any disruption in procurement of raw material or technicals? We have taken permission from our parent company for importing technicals from third party. It's for the formulation part or new launches or any disruption in the raw material. These are for existing products, not for new products. We are not facing any constraint on our supply chain. We are getting the materials as we want. Also we have prudently stocked up the materials as well. I can say that, and this has been also from our side, we have promised the sales team that no order of the customer will be turned down. We are not going to say, "Sorry, we don't have materials. We cannot supply." That confidence has been even given to the sales team, and we are very confident that there will be no situation that we'll have no materials and we will not be able to supply the goods. This clarification, this point which you mentioned that our parent company has allowed, as Shah mentioned, this is for the existing product and only for two or three very specific products where this is available. Generally, the terms and everything remain same except these two, three products, wherein our parent company has allowed us more flexibility. Okay. My next question on Barrix's portfolio, because in last con call, you have announced that we are facing some regulatory challenges. It's solved or it's still going on? I think most of the regulatory challenges which were started, I think this is something which the entire industry face, including our company and our subsidiary, Barrix, especially in the bio kind of a product. Those challenges were faced from middle of June towards end of last financial year. At this point of time, largely, most of the approval have been received to restart the business, and it has been restarted now from the recent past. This year, we are not expecting those regulatory challenges to continue or impact us negatively. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Siddharth Gadekar with Equirus. Please go ahead. Hi, sir. Just first on the domestic market, what kind of price hikes do we need to take, assuming the raw material basket stays where it is today to pass the entire thing to the end customer? It's very difficult to generalize. Product to product, it varies. Formulation to formulation, it varies. Active ingredient to active ingredient, it varies. On a large scale, can we say maybe 10%-15% cost escalation depending on the product. Some products have even gone up to 20%-25%. It's very difficult to generalize. It varies from product to product. Would it be a fair understanding that the revenue growth will be much higher given that raw material prices have moved higher for FY 2027, at least for the first half? It's very difficult to say. The reason I'm making that statement is there are two issues. One is we know about the fertilizer supply. We don't know how the monsoon is going to play out, what the crop shift is going to happen, what the farmer demand is going to be there. If competition companies start reducing the price, then we will also are in the same market, we'll have to drop the price. The second thing is the war situation. If the war stops tomorrow, yeah, it may take a few weeks or couple of months for the situation to come back to normal. The minute the war stops and the things started improving, then competition or people may not want to hold the price and want to get the volume. It all is going to be played on all these developments, which we will have to wait to see the situation how it evolves. The second question on the CapEx side, we had announced a INR 150 crore CapEx for Dahej, and we highlighted that we are in advanced stages. Now it's the second phase. Can you give some sense of what are we planning to do in the INR 150 crore also? On the second phase, how large that opportunity could be? As we mentioned last time, in the last, I think, quarter deck, we have announced this CapEx of INR 150 crore to be developed at our Dahej site. This is the first project coming at Dahej, and it is expected to be commercialized in next two years or so. That continues on the track. I think we have started some of the development work, and it seems that it should be on the track currently. As we had mentioned, that next phase is expected. We are doing a lot of feasibility studies, as we mentioned and covered earlier. The quantum of that is expected to be similar for each of these projects, with little bit higher up and down. The quantum is expected to be similar for each of these projects, and we are expecting a pipeline of such projects over next few years. Sir, since it lasts. One by one. Sorry. To be announced one by one. What we are saying, first project we have announced at Dahej for INR 150 crore, we are expecting a series of projects over next few years. Sir, in this INR 150 crore CapEx, what kind of product would we be doing? Because we have only highlighted it would be a intermediate for the herbicides. We will be doing the N-1 or we will be doing a KSM type intermediate in this? We will not be able to disclose because this is a business confidential information. To some extent, it is that more integrated may not be KSM, but a good level of integration. Okay, sir. Got it. Thank you so much. Thank you. Before we take the next question, a reminder to all the participants. If you wish to register for a question, please press star and one now. The next question comes from the line of Ankur Periwal with Axis Capital. Please go ahead. Yeah. Hi, sir. Thanks for the opportunity. First question on the overall volume growth in FY 2026. If you can help on that, maybe a breakup between specialty and how the generic portfolio has been performing? Okay. Ankur, if you have closely observed the last year, the prices of most of the agrochemicals were largely stable, by and large stable. There was a minimal growth in terms of price. Most of the increase that you see in terms of revenue is primarily from volume. Also, as I think Mr. Shah also explained, and Dr. Suresh and Anil, sir also covered in their thing, while the top-line growth is 3%, however, there were some negative factors of, like, say, this animal nutrition business discontinuation, which we mentioned. If you look at our pure agro business, it has grown roughly in the range of 5%-6%, and almost everything through volume, as Dr. Suresh mentioned. Sure, Kunal. That's helpful. Just within the portfolio, while herbicide has done good for us, the growth over here will be largely led by the new products or even the existing ones ramped up? Secondly, specifically on PGR as fungicides. A fungicide may be seasonal, but PGRs had been growing reasonably well earlier. They witnessed a sharp decline this year. Anything specific here? Yeah, I can explain it to you. In terms of herbicides, it's a mix of both generic products as well as specialty products. Specialty products, our flumioxazin soybean herbicide grew significantly. A newly launched rice herbicide, Lentigo, contributed to the overall herbicide growth. Apart from our key branded molecule, Mera 71, a different formulation of glyphosate, recorded a very good growth. The herbicide portfolio growth is on account of mix of both specialty and generic portfolio. In terms of PGR, mainly gibberellic acid, GA, again, a big product for us, declined on account of really bad grape season. If you had observed at that time in the grapes, there was continuous rains, a lot of grape area got damaged, and the spraying itself did not happen. That had a direct impact on our PGR, that is gibberellic acid portfolio. That's the reason you see a decline in the PGR portfolio. Just to add, there was also this regulatory challenge, what we mentioned about biological. In PGR, this one particular product, which is very important, gibberellic acid, Dr. Suresh explained the market concerns. For several other products in this portfolio, which are bio in nature, including we and our subsidiary, Barrix, we both face regulatory challenges. Many of these products could not be sold right from June to, say, December or January. For six months, the sales and the distribution was disturbed for these products. Sure, Kunal. Yeah. Herbicides part, what Suresh explained about the products, both generic and specialty, there was also a factor of weather. If you see the Q1 was very good, and till that time, the monsoon rains, everything was well covered in India, and that is why we saw a lot of herbicides. Other portfolios like insecticides, fungicides, were more severely impacted by extraordinary rains in the later months, like August, September, October. Herbicide portfolio did not get negatively impacted due to weather, while other portfolios did get impacted because of other sectors, these weather factors. I'm sure you are aware that the industry as a whole has unprecedented return of herbicides from the channel all across the companies. We have not taken even one liter herbicide back from the market. Whatever we could sell, it was sustained. There were no returns at all of our herbicides. Sure, sir. Thanks for the detailed answer. Second bit on the CapEx side, just as a follow-up to the earlier question. What number should we take for, let's say, over 2027 and financial year 2028? Earlier we also highlighted that there were some products at an approval stage from Japan which can be possibly backward integrated in India. Any status update over there? Ankur, whatever CapEx we have mentioned, they continue to be on timelines and any additional projects which we will announce in future, that will anyway take two years plus to be commercialized. As we have mentioned, I think whatever CapEx projects we have announced, we are not expecting any incremental revenues in current financial year. Current financial year, our endeavor will be to maintain the sales which we have, like as I mentioned earlier, it is between INR 110 to INR 130, INR 140 crore level at this point of time. That we are planning to maintain in current year. From next year onwards, as some of these CapEx projects get completed, some incremental revenue should be added. Large part of that increment, because this INR 150 crore of large Dahej CapEx, that is expected to take from, say, due to financial year 2028, 2029, the revenue side. Sure, Kunal. Just last one if I may squeeze in. Going back to the Sumitomo Chemical Company's presentation highlighting India to be a hub there from a semiconductor production, et cetera, perspective. Two parts. One, the cash that we have on the books, will the large part of that capital allocation will be getting funded here? Secondly, from a technology point of view, from an R&D point of view, from a capability side, where are we? Do we need a significant investment from Sumitomo Chemical Company to be transferred here or the existing team on the R&D side, if you can share some thought there. No, it will be existing team only. We are very good at it and as a matter of fact, even Japan has now developed confidence in our R&D and they are pushing us that even if the technical know-how comes from Japan, if we can improve it will be better. They are giving us all the free hand as far as R&D is concerned and it will be all ours. We don't need any capital from Japan or any manpower from Japan. On your first question, Ankur, about the investment. You are right that we are accumulating a lot of cash at this point of time. As our parent company also announced that they want to use India as a manufacturing hub, especially our sector, agro and life sector has clearly mentioned this in the past in a lot of forums and that is something which we have committed. As we also mentioned that we are expecting to implement several new CapEx projects, especially at our Dahej site for our parent company's global requirement. We are expecting that a lot of our CapEx can be invested into that through the funds which are accumulated in India. Sure, Kunal. That's helpful. Thanks a lot for all the answers and congratulations Dr. Suresh for your new role and responsibilities. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you. The next question comes from Riju Dalui with Antique Stock Broking. Please go ahead. Hi, sir. Thanks for the opportunity. We are talking about the raw material inflation and the cost passing to the farmer. How are we confident of passing cost to the farmer? So far we have done that, if we look at in terms of the overall economics of the farm, fertilizer price already hiked maybe in last one and a half months. Also if you look at the other ag commodities, prices are already soft. Even though we pass on our prices, is it possible that the volume can taper because farmers might shift towards the generic product, not the specialty or branded product because of the cost pressure and the inflation. Yeah. As I explained, there is a lot of dynamics that is playing on. One is monsoon, that can change the cropping pattern, number one. Number two, fertilizer availability. Even before talking about fertilizer price. Fertilizer price anyway mostly it is subsidized and I don't think it's going to significantly increase to the farmer. In terms of supply, fertilizer supply availability can impact the cropping pattern. If you look at way back 2022, 2023, all the agrochemical prices have shot up significantly but still farmers were able to buy and invest in their crop and got good crop. Similarly, we will have to wait and see how the competition is going to play, how the monsoon is going to play out, what is the fertilizer supply situation. All these things will play a role in terms of how much the farmers can absorb the cost. As I mentioned, we are not taking a one-shot decision and trying to see that recover everything. We are taking a calculated decision based on the product, based on the brand. Based on the popularity of the brand, we take that call, and that's how it will be. It's a dynamic situation, so the decisions have to be fast, and we are geared up for that. We're reviewing the situation on a weekly basis, if not on a daily basis, and take those calls and implement the decisions. Understood. The agrochemical is the least of the cost to the farmer in his overall cost. I think farmer will be more worried about at what price he will get the fertilizers and other inputs. Agrochemical is not a very big part of farmer's cost. When the time to use the agrochemical comes, farmer only sees to save his crop, and the price to him at that point of time really doesn't matter in his economics. Understood, sir. Sir, second part is that, if I look at your herbicide portfolio growth in the Q4, that was very strong. Can we assume that it partially driven by the price hike that we have taken over in the month of March, and also partially supported by the intermediate rainfall during the late rabi season, both have influenced the growth? Primarily it is volume growth. Yes, price increase happened, that was towards the middle of March or third week of March. The major contribution would have been volume, and probably to some extent, I would say that since the bar situation was emerging, channel was little bit skeptical about the availability of herbicides and probably, they bought little early compared to what they would have done in a normal year. Understood. Also, if I look at some of the herbicide prices, maybe one of our most demanded herbicide product, glyphosate, the prices have shot up more than 40%-50% over last few months. Was that a kind of a pre-buying in the channel more of than the actual demand driven growth that we have seen in the Q4? It's mostly glyphosate starts getting used only towards the end of April, early May. Before that, it's all stocking up except maybe little bit of usage would happen in north. I would say the cost of raw materials of, not only glyphosate, all the raw material costs have gone up. Yes, glyphosate has also gone up, so we also increased the price, and the entire glyphosate industry increased the price. There is stocking up of some of the products by the channel also. Understood. Sir, one last question regarding the CapEx that right now we are talking about the semicon CapEx and some other CapEx. If we look back at past year guidance about the INR 300 crores CapEx at the Dahej plant, so far we have only announced INR 150 crores CapEx. In terms of how are you confident of announce another CapEx at the Dahej plant for the agri intermediates in the near term, and in terms of the product that are already in process of getting the approval from the parent company. How was the status for those products? At this point of time, based on whatever technical feasibility studies we have done and discussed, technically, we are very confident and overall, we are cautiously optimistic that some of these CapEx projects should get approved and we should start the implementation. Understood. Sir, any kind of a timeline or stage that we are into this process of approval? As we have mentioned that we are not looking at one particular point of time to announce a very large CapEx. We announced one project just, say, three or four months back, and periodically, let's say every year or so, we are expecting or maybe earlier than that, we are expecting next project to be announced. Implementation of, say, five projects cannot be done together. Let's say, just on a every year for next few years, we can keep announcing one project. Understood, sir. Thank you. Thanks for clarifying all my questions. Thanks. All the best. Before we take the next question, a reminder to everyone, you may press star and one to ask a question. The next question comes from Hardik with ICICI Securities. Please go ahead. Thanks for the opportunity, sir. Just want to know if you can just give a breakdown between what was the volume growth and the pricing increase in Q4 and full year performance that driven the revenue? I think this point was already addressed by Dr. Suresh earlier. If you look at our agro business, overall from a full year basis, the growth was approximately 5-6%, and which is fully from volumes. Pricing was stable, and if you look at the full year basis. Okay, sure. That's very helpful. Thank you. Thank you. As there are no further questions, I would now like to hand the conference over to Mr. Sushil Marfatia for closing comments. Namaste, everyone. Thank you all for asking some very interesting questions, and our colleagues for replying the same. We hope we could address all your queries. FY 2026 was a generally difficult year for the Indian agrochemical industry. Adverse weather, regulatory constraint, global uncertainties, and cautious channel sentiment, all occurring in the same year. Yet, in that environment, Sumitomo Chemical India delivered its highest-ever profitability. That outcome speaks to the depth of the franchise we have built. Looking ahead, our priorities for FY 2027 are clear. Scaling up our recently launched products, continuing to invest in farmers' engagement and demand generation, advancing our manufacturing expansion program at Bhavnagar, Tarapur, and Dahej, and sustaining the financial discipline that has consistently underpinned our profitability. We remain watchful of the monsoon outlook and the broader operating environment, and we are well prepared to navigate whatever conditions the year brings. I also want to express here my deep gratitude for the privilege of having been part of this organization's journey. The company that Sumitomo Chemical India is totally a INR 3,200 crore business with a strong parentage, strong products and brands, strong people and team, and strong plans. All these strong Ps helped us generate strong profit for our shareholders, which is one of the highest profitability level in our history. It is collective work of every person in our company who have given their best to this organization. I am proud to have been one of them. Thank you once again for your time and your continued trust in Sumitomo Chemical India. We look forward to staying engaged with you throughout the year ahead. Thank you very much. Thank you. On behalf of Sumitomo Chemical India Limited, that concludes this conference. Thank you everyone for joining us, and you may now disconnect your lines.
