Natco Pharma Limited has announced the launch of two Chlorantraniliprole (CTPR) pesticide formulated combination products under the brand names:

• NATVOL: Chlorantraniliprole 8.8% + Thiamethoxam 17.5% SC; and
• NATLIGO: Chlorantraniliprole 9.3% + Lambda-cyhalothrin 4.6% ZC

As per the filing, both products are broad-spectrum, foliar insecticides used across wide range of crops. Syngenta markets these combination products under brand names Voliam Flexi and ligo. The pharma-major estimates the market size of the CTPR combination products to be around R800 crore in India.

“NATCO is the first company, after Syngenta, to launch above mentioned CTPR combination products in India. It follows on the heels of indigenously manufactured CTPR formulation 18.5% SC launched by NATCO recently under brand name NATGEN. NATCO has challenged FMC for revocation of their patents for these combination products that are marketed by Syngenta, and the case is pending before the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi”, the company said in a regulatory filing on Tuesday.

At around 12:57 PM, Natco Pharma Ltd is currently trading at Rs619.30 per share up by Rs6.8 or 1.11% from its previous closing of Rs612.50 per share on the BSE.
