The full read
Basant Agro Tech's March quarter drove a strong finish to the fiscal year. Quarterly revenue rose 23% to ₹162.86 crore, and the profit expansion was far sharper, with net profit nearly doubling to ₹2.21 crore from ₹1.15 crore. For the full year, net profit climbed 68% to ₹7.01 crore on ₹567.98 crore in revenue. The company, valued at just ₹121 crore, is generating enough cash to recommend a 5% dividend. That payout, from a board at a firm this size, points to conviction in the cash flow profile. The numbers indicate the profit jump is more than a price increase; it reflects genuine gains in the agri-input business. The sustainability of this growth rate is the key focus.
