Peers are the listed companies in the exchange's own industry group: Pesticides & Agrochemicals. Balance-sheet figures are from the latest filed balance sheet; trends show each financial year we hold.
Latest quarterIn the quarter to June 2026 (results filed 31 Jul 2026), sales fell 8.3% from a year earlier to Rs 83.6 cr and the loss was Rs 18.7 cr against Rs 33.0 cr a year earlier.
- Reported a loss in FY24 and FY25 and FY26.
- Profit before interest covered interest -1.3 times in FY26 (Rs 34 cr of interest).
- Return on equity stayed under 10% from FY24 to FY26 (highest -12.7%).
Each line is written by a fixed rule from the company's own filings and share price, and names the figures it uses. It describes what happened; it is not advice about the share.
Over the last 19 results, the share rose on 7 and fell on 12, and moved by 3% or more on 6.
Q1 FY27: results filed 31 Jul 2026. The share went from its close on 30 Jul 2026 to its close on 3 Aug 2026 +0.21%.
Of every Rs 100 of sales in FY26, Rs 101 went on running costs, Rs 10 on depreciation, Rs 7.7 on interest; the year ended in a loss.
Thin bar: money in (sales plus other income). Thick bar: where it went. Each year is scaled to its own sales, so the bars compare shares, not size.
Per year, compounded, between financial years FY26 and the year named; only spans our filings cover. The faint bar is the latest quarter against the same quarter a year earlier. Earnings per share is not shown: filed figures are not adjusted for bonus issues and splits, so its growth would mislead.

Each row is coloured against this company's own usual level, not against other companies: green is better than its middle year, red worse, plain is close to it. ROE, ROCE and debt rows start once the filings carry a full balance sheet (FY22 at the earliest).
At FY26 it owned Rs 942 Cr of assets. Its owners funded 41% of that and borrowings 48%.
From the March balance sheet in the company's annual filing (2026-03-31). Each bar is the full balance sheet; "everything else" is what the filed total leaves after the named lines.
In FY26 the business itself brought in Rs -81 Cr, spent Rs 6 Cr on plant and equipment, and cash rose by Rs 9 Cr over the year.
Full financial year to 2026-03-31, from the company's cash flow statement.
Median rather than average, so one loss-making or one very expensive peer cannot drag the reference. Valuation is shown without a colour verdict: a higher multiple can mean expensive, or faster growth expected, and only you can decide which.
