The discussion hereunder covers Companys performance and its business outlook for the future. This outlook is based on assessment of the current business environment and Government policies. The change in future economic and other developments are likely to cause variation in this outlook.
The global economy during 2025 witnessed moderate growth amid a dynamic and evolving macroeconomic environment. Economic activity remained resilient despite ongoing geopolitical tensions, trade uncertainties, and fluctuations in commodity prices. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), global growth remained stable, supported by easing inflationary pressures, improving labour market conditions, and gradual recovery in international trade. Major central banks across advanced economies continued to adopt a cautious monetary policy approach. As inflation showed signs of moderation, several economies initiated measured interest rate adjustments to support economic growth while maintaining price stability. Emerging and developing economies demonstrated resilience, driven by domestic consumption, infrastructure investments, and improving export demand.
Global supply chains continued to strengthen through diversification strategies, technological advancements, and enhanced logistics infrastructure. Digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and sustainability-driven investments emerged as key growth drivers across industries. However, challenges such as geopolitical conflicts, climate-related risks, elevated public debt levels, and uneven economic recovery across regions continued to influence the global economic outlook.
Despite these uncertainties, the long-term outlook for the global economy remains positive, supported by innovation, increasing investments in renewable energy, technological advancement, and growing international collaboration aimed at fostering sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
The global economic outlook remains cautiously positive, supported by moderating inflation, resilient labour markets, improving consumer demand, and gradual recovery in global trade. Continued investments in technology, infrastructure, renewable energy, and supply chain resilience are expected to support economic growth.
However, challenges such as geopolitical tensions, trade uncertainties, climate-related risks, and volatility in commodity prices may continue to impact global markets. Despite these headwinds, ongoing policy reforms, innovation, and productivity improvements are expected to foster sustainable economic growth in the medium to long term.
India continued to remain one of the fastest-growing major economies during FY 2025-26, supported by strong domestic consumption, robust infrastructure spending, stable financial markets, and continued policy reforms. Government initiatives focused on manufacturing, digitalisation, ease of doing business, and infrastructure development contributed significantly to economic growth. Inflation remained within a manageable range, supported by prudent monetary policy measures and improving supply-side conditions. Strong GST collections, healthy foreign exchange reserves, and sustained foreign investment inflows reflected the resilience of the Indian economy.
The Governments continued emphasis on capital expenditure, industrial development, agriculture, and export promotion is expected to strengthen long-term growth prospects. With a favourable demographic
profile, expanding digital infrastructure, and increasing private sector participation, India remains wellpositioned to sustain its growth momentum and reinforce its role as a key driver of the global economy.
India enters FY 2026-27 with strong economic fundamentals, supported by resilient domestic demand, sustained infrastructure investment, policy reforms, and a favourable demographic profile. The country is expected to remain among the fastest-growing major economies, driven by robust consumption, manufacturing growth, and increasing private and public investments.
Inflation is expected to remain within a manageable range, while continued government focus on digitalisation, ease of doing business, infrastructure development, and the Viksit Bharat 2047 vision is likely to support long-term economic growth.
The agriculture and horticulture sectors continue to play a vital role in the economy, supported by improved productivity, export opportunities, and favourable policy initiatives. Indias strong position as a leading producer of agricultural commodities provides significant opportunities for sustainable growth.
The Governments continued emphasis on strengthening rural infrastructure, enhancing agricultural productivity, promoting exports, and encouraging investment in manufacturing is expected to create new opportunities across sectors. Increasing adoption of technology and innovation is also likely to improve operational efficiency and competitiveness.
Furthermore, initiatives such as Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, logistics infrastructure development, and expansion of digital public infrastructure are expected to attract investments and accelerate industrial growth. These measures are likely to strengthen Indias position as a preferred global manufacturing and investment destination.
While global geopolitical developments, trade uncertainties, and climate-related challenges may pose risks, Indias strong macroeconomic fundamentals and reform-oriented approach are expected to support its growth trajectory in the coming years.
India continues to be one of the worlds leading agricultural economies and remains the second-largest producer of fruits and vegetables. The horticulture sector has achieved another significant milestone, with total horticulture production estimated at around 370.7 million metric tonnes in 2024-25, reflecting steady growth over previous years. Fruit production is estimated at 118.8 million metric tonnes, while vegetable production is estimated at 215.7 million metric tonnes, highlighting the sectors increasing contribution to agricultural value creation and food security. role in meeting global food requirements.
India is one of the worlds leading agrochemical producers and exporters, with the industry playing a critical role in enhancing agricultural productivity and supporting food security. The country is among the largest exporters of crop protection products and benefits from a strong manufacturing base, skilled workforce, and growing research and development capabilities.
The Indian agrochemical market is estimated at over USD 11 billion, while exports continue to contribute significantly to industry revenues. Supported by increasing demand for food, shrinking arable land, changing climatic conditions, and the need for higher farm productivity, the adoption of crop protection solutions is expected to increase steadily in the coming years. Government initiatives promoting sustainable agriculture, balanced nutrient management, and modern farming practices are further supporting industry growth.
Indias per-hectare agrochemical consumption remains significantly lower than many developed agricultural economies, indicating substantial growth potential. The sector is also witnessing increasing focus on specialty chemicals, biological products, and environmentally sustainable crop protection solutions, creating new opportunities for innovation and market expansion.
During FY 2025-26, the Indian agrochemical industry demonstrated signs of recovery following a challenging period marked by inventory corrections, pricing pressure, and global demand slowdown. Improvement in channel inventories, stable raw material prices, and recovery in export demand supported industry performance during the year.
Exports continued to benefit from Indias cost-competitive manufacturing capabilities and diversified product portfolio. Key export markets such as North America, Latin America, Asia, and Africa showed improving demand trends, while domestic demand remained supported by favourable agricultural activity and increased awareness regarding crop protection practices.
Looking ahead, the industrys long-term outlook remains positive, driven by increasing food demand, expanding export opportunities, technological advancements, growing emphasis on sustainable agriculture, and supportive government policies. These factors are expected to strengthen the growth trajectory of the Indian agrochemical sector over the coming years.
