Abhay Baijal: Thank you. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us on the conference call to
discuss Chambal Fertilisers’ performance for the 1st Quarter of the Financial Year 2026-27. The
Indian fertilizer industry continued to operate in a challenging environment during the first
quarter, navigating geopolitical uncertainties, elevated raw material prices, and a delayed
onset of the southwest monsoon.
The geopolitical developments in West Asia continued to disrupt global fertilizer and energy
supply chains during the early part of the quarter, resulting in sharp increases in the prices of
key raw materials such as ammonia, Sulphur, and phosphatic intermediates, along with higher
freight costs and procurement challenges. While conditions began to improve towards the end
of the quarter as geopolitical tensions eased, raw material prices remained well above
historical levels.
The Indian agricultural season began on a relatively subdued note, with emerging El Nino
conditions contributing to an uneven onset of the southwest monsoon and below-normal
rainfall across several regions during June.
Consequently, Kharif sowing and fertilizer offtake remained subdued during the early part of
the season. As of the end of June, summer crop sowing stood at around 183 lakh hectares,
approximately 23% lower year-on-year. Encouragingly, monsoon activity strengthened
significantly during July, and sowing has since accelerated across major crop-growing states.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, acreage has broadly caught up with last year's levels,
while the IMD continues to maintain its forecast of a normal monsoon. We believe these
developments provide a favorable backdrop for agricultural activity and fertilizer demand
during the balance of the year.
The Government of India remained closely engaged with the fertilizer sector during the
quarter, ensuring domestic gas availability for urea manufacturers and adequate DAP and NPK
supplies ahead of the Kharif season.
While the nutrient-based subsidy rates for Kharif were revised upwards by around 10%, these
were announced prior to the sharp increase in global prices following the geopolitical
developments in West Asia and therefore do not fully reflect the subsequent cost escalations.
The industry continues to engage with the Department of Fertilizer on this matter, while timely
subsidy disbursements have supported industry liquidity and ensured uninterrupted fertilizer
availability.
A very key development during the quarter was the Government's approval of the National
Investment Policy for Urea 2026. We believe that the policy provides a very strong framework
for future investments in domestic urea capacity, while reinforcing India's long-term
commitment to self-sufficiency and food security. Accordingly, we have continued to progress

preparatory activities for a potential fourth urea plant, and any investment decision, however,
will remain subject to the approval by our Board.
Turning to the operational and financial for the quarter under review:
Our urea business continued to operate despite the plant shutdown at Gadepan-1 and
extended shutdown of Gadepan-2 during the quarter, which got bunched due to the
geopolitical situation.
The bulk fertilizer business also delivered healthy performance, supported by timely
procurement of phosphatic and potassium fertilizers ahead of the Kharif season. During the
quarter, we also expanded our portfolio with introduction of ammonium sulfate grade and
continued to evaluate newer NPK grades to strengthen our balanced nutrition offering.
Our crop protection chemicals and speciality business continued to strengthen its product
portfolio with the launch of seven new products across herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides
during the quarter. While demand was impacted by delayed sowing, the business delivered a
meaningful improvement in profitability through better product mix, whereas seeds business
expanded its portfolio with two new maize and bajra varieties.
Our biologicals business continued to witness growth in volumes and revenues, driven by
increasing farmer acceptance of sustainable crop solutions. The business also recorded
profitability supported by a better product mix and scale benefits.
