Rallis India Q4 FY26: Loss Narrows, Revenue Up 6%

Stock jumps after Q4 numbers

Rallis India shares rose sharply on Monday after the Tata Group agri-inputs company reported a narrower loss for the March quarter. The stock gained 6.70% to ₹278.55 following the results, according to market data cited in the reports. During the session, the stock also jumped 8.3% on the BSE and hit an intra-day high of ₹282.85 per share. By 11:16 AM, the stock was up 4.1% at ₹271.75, while the BSE Sensex was flat at 77,306. The move came as investors reacted to improving quarterly profitability indicators, even as the company remained in the red for the quarter.

Q4 FY26: Net loss narrows to ₹15 crore

For Q4 FY26, Rallis India reported a standalone net loss of ₹15 crore, compared with a net loss of ₹32 crore in Q4 FY25. The company also reported that the loss before exceptional items and tax narrowed to ₹20 crore from a loss of ₹41 crore in the same quarter last year. Exceptional items stood at ₹3 crore during the quarter. The narrower loss signaled improvement in operating performance versus the year-ago period, even as demand conditions remained mixed across crops and geographies.

Revenue rises 6% to ₹456 crore

Revenue from operations increased 6% year-on-year to ₹456 crore in Q4 FY26, compared with ₹430 crore in Q4 FY25. The company attributed the quarterly revenue growth to a combination of 5% volume growth and 1% price growth. In its filing, Rallis also pointed to mixed demand conditions, noting that lower pest pressure in certain crops affected demand while some segments continued to show resilience. The company described the quarter as one of moderate growth supported by volume expansion and stable pricing.

Segment snapshot: Crop Care steady, Seeds strong

Rallis said the Crop Care business grew 5% in Q4 FY26. Within Crop Care, the B2C segment delivered 15% growth, while the B2B segment declined 7% due to lower volumes. The Seeds business delivered strong growth of 23% during the quarter. These segment trends highlighted a divergence between consumer-facing demand and the bulk business, while seeds outperformed in the quarter.

Full-year FY26: Profit up 47.2%, revenue up 8.79%

On a full-year basis, the company reported net profit growth of 47.2% to ₹184 crore in FY26, alongside an 8.79% rise in revenue to ₹2,897 crore over FY25. A PTI report also cited FY26 profit at ₹185 crore and FY26 revenue at ₹2,897 crore, with FY25 revenue at ₹2,663 crore. The annual numbers indicated stronger profitability despite operating conditions that included regulatory and demand-related headwinds in parts of the portfolio.

FY26 business performance: exports, SPH and seeds

During FY26, the Crop Care business grew 8%, with the Domestic Formulations segment delivering 5% growth, driven by steady performance across key brands. The B2B Exports business, including Custom Synthesis Manufacturing (CSM), grew 17%, supported by volume expansion in the International Business Division and improved realizations across key molecules. The Soil and Plant Health (SPH) segment posted 8% growth despite regulatory challenges relating to biostimulants, aided by focused product placement and demand generation initiatives. Meanwhile, the seeds business grew 15%, driven by strategic planning and execution amid supply constraints and demand challenges in key crops such as cotton and mustard.

Why demand conditions mattered this quarter

The company’s filing cited lower pest pressure in certain crops as a factor that impacted demand in parts of the quarter. For agrochemical companies, pest incidence and weather patterns can shift farmer buying patterns, particularly for insecticides and fungicides. Rallis’ commentary that select segments remained resilient suggests uneven demand across products and geographies rather than broad-based weakness. The Q4 split between B2C growth and B2B decline also points to differences in channel dynamics and ordering behaviour.

Rallis India’s board recommended a dividend of ₹3 per share (300%) for FY26, according to the Hindi-language report included in the provided material. The dividend, if approved, will be paid after shareholder approval at the AGM, and taxes will be deducted before payment.
