Sumitomo Chemical India Limited (SCIL) is a leading player in the agrochemical sector in India, specializing in crop protection solutions, household insecticides, and animal nutrition products.

Despite adverse weather conditions impacting its Q2 performance for FY '26, SCIL maintained a strong financial position with a 9% revenue growth and an 11% increase in profitability in H1 FY '26.

The company has strategically emphasized the launch of innovative products from SCC Japan's pipeline, such as Excalia Max and Lentigo, to reinforce its market leadership in speciality agrochemicals.

SCIL has achieved substantial cash reserves of INR 2,089 crores, providing significant leeway for future expansion and capex plans, including the development of a new manufacturing site at Dahej.

A robust supply chain and strong farmer engagement through initiatives like 'Every Day Farmers' Day' are key components of SCIL’s strategy, enhancing brand recall and market penetration.
