Insecticides (India) Ltd Managing Director Rajesh Aggarwal said, "During the quarter, we observed firming up of raw material prices although excessive and continued rainfall resulted in lower pest infestation. The farmers delayed their spraying schedule, which adversely impacted revenue growth for the company".

He said the company achieved an H1 net profit of Rs 110 crore, surpassing the full FY24 net profit of Rs 102.36 crore.

The company's focus will remain on driving higher growth in premium products, underpinned by new product launches, more extensive demand generation and brand-building initiatives, he said.
