Business Model

The company earns revenue through manufacturing and selling pesticide formulations and technical-grade pesticides. Revenue comes from sales to domestic agrochemical companies and MNCs, as well as exports. The company has diversified its customer base, with top ten customers representing 71.35% of sales for the period ended June 30, 2025 (down from 76.26% in FY2025). Raw materials constitute approximately 82.95% of sales costs, with 79.33% being imported and 3.62% domestic as of June 30, 2025.

Business Segments

Manufacturing and supply of pesticide formulations including branded formulations and value-added end-use formulations for domestic agrochemical companies and MNCs
Import, registration, and marketing of technical-grade pesticides (active ingredients) that were not produced domestically in India
Manufacture and sale of crop protection formulations including fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, and bio-fermented formulations in solid forms (Water Dispersible Powder - WDP, Water Dispersible Granule - WDG) and liquid forms
Enable protection of crops from insects by either preventing their attack or destroying them. Help in controlling the pest population below a desired threshold level.
Used to prevent fungi attacks on crops and to tackle crop diseases. Protectants and eradicants are two types of fungicides. Protectants protect or hinder fungal growth and eradicants destroy the diseases on usage. This results in better productivity, contraction in crop blemishes, and increased storage life.
Also known as weedicides, are used to destroy unwanted plants. The unavailability of cheap labour leads to the major usage of herbicides in rice and wheat crops. The demand for herbicides is seasonal as they develop in damp, warm climates, and perishes in cold spells.
New-age chemicals produced from substances of nature like plants, animal waste, bacteria, and minerals. Environment-friendly and easy to use.
Products designed to enhance plant growth and development. The company offers products like MAYAMRIT GR, MAYAMRIT SL, and MAYAGIBB which increase plant photosynthetic activity, improve fruit size, and increase yield and quality of crops.
Products designed to enhance nutrient uptake, increase water and nutrient absorption, enhance flowering and fruiting, reduce irrigation requirements and fertilizer needs, and increase drought resistance.
Manufacture and sale of formulated crop protection chemical products
Trading of technical materials for crop protection
Sale of pesticide formulations and agrochemical products
