Dhanuka Agritech Q4 Net Profit Jumps 29.5% to Rs 97.77 Crore; Announces Buyback, Final Dividend and Expansion Plans

Dhanuka Agritech reported a robust financial performance for the fourth quarter and the full financial year 2025-26, with both revenue and profit registering healthy growth on the back of strong agricultural demand, improved product penetration, and operational efficiencies.

The Gurugram-based agrochemical company posted a 29.5 percent year-on-year rise in net profit for the January-March quarter of FY26. Profit after tax (PAT) stood at Rs 97.77 crore in Q4 FY26 compared to Rs 75.5 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year.

Revenue from operations during the quarter increased 9.35 percent to Rs 483.34 crore from Rs 442.02 crore a year earlier. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose 13.79 percent to Rs 124.89 crore, while profit before tax (PBT) climbed 26.21 percent to Rs 128.31 crore.

For the entire financial year ended March 31, 2026, the company recorded a total income of Rs 2,062.8 crore, while annual net profit stood at Rs 287.23 crore. The company said the strong quarterly performance significantly contributed to the yearly earnings growth.

According to the company, the performance during the quarter was supported by favourable Rabi season conditions and healthy demand across major crop segments. Dhanuka Agritech also attributed the growth to deeper penetration in key agricultural markets, better engagement with farmers and channel partners, and continued focus on operational efficiency.

Commenting on the results, Chairman M.K. Dhanuka said the company delivered healthy growth due to improved demand across key markets and the strength of its product portfolio. He added that the company’s continued engagement with farmers and focused execution across regions helped maintain profitability and business momentum.

He, however, noted that the monsoon outlook for the current year remains below normal. Despite this, he said the agriculture sector continues to show resilience due to improved farming practices, technology adoption, and favourable crop economics in several regions. The company plans to strengthen its crop protection business ahead of the upcoming Kharif season.

Alongside the earnings announcement, the board approved a buyback of up to 5 lakh equity shares, representing 1.11 percent of the total paid-up capital. The buyback will be carried out at a maximum price of Rs 1,400 per share, with the total buyback size capped at Rs 70 crore.

The board has also recommended a final dividend of 100 percent, equivalent to Rs 2 per share, subject to shareholder approval at the company’s 41st Annual General Meeting scheduled for August 3, 2026.

In a significant strategic move, the company announced plans to strengthen its international footprint by establishing wholly-owned subsidiaries or acquiring companies in Brazil and European countries. The initiative aims to facilitate global operations, including transferring brand registrations and expanding product availability in overseas markets.

Dhanuka Agritech, one of India’s leading crop protection companies, operates four manufacturing units across Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Jammu & Kashmir. The company has a wide distribution network comprising 41 warehouses, 6,500 distributors, and around 80,000 retailers, serving nearly 10 million farmers across the country.
