The full read
Insecticides (India) closed FY26 with ₹2,140 crore in consolidated revenue, a 7% increase over the previous year's ₹2,000 crore.
Profitability stalled. Net profit slipped to ₹139.4 crore from ₹142 crore.
Beyond the financials, the company initiated a generational leadership change. Nikunj Aggarwal resigned as Whole Time Director, with her son, Sanskar Aggarwal, stepping into the position. The board also introduced an Employee Stock Purchase Scheme involving 200,000 shares. This incentive plan represents a 0.06% dilution of the current share capital. The combination of a slight earnings contraction and a formal promoter-level succession marks a period of transition for the agrochemical firm. The next test is whether the new leadership can reverse the recent profit decline.
