The business environment remained broadly favorable during the quarter. The season commenced with an early onset of Southwest monsoon, healthy reservoir levels and visible signs of global demand recovery with stable raw material prices. Kharif season started well for certain crops like Rice, Maize while uneven rain in certain parts impacted other crops sowing.
We are now considered as an innovative crop solution provider, wherein we are seen by the farmers as their reliable partner, engaging early from sowing till harvest. And will provide leadership position in major crops in India. Another transformative step was IIL Crop Solution Plots. These are model fields cultivated using IIL Crop Solutions for major crops, helping farmers and channel partners to experience the benefit in terms of difference in crop health, yield, and overall productivity.
During the quarter, we launched three new products, including Altair—a patented pre-emergent herbicide for paddy developed by Nissan Chemical Corporation, Japan—which will be exclusively marketed by us in India. With overwhelming response to the new launches of last few years, we are well-positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities. Our Dahej facility has received the necessary approvals and will contribute majorly to our growth requirement and efficient operational management.
Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about the season, supported by favorable tailwinds such as a strong monsoon, rising reservoir levels, and expanded crop sowing. Our growth outlook remains strong for premium products, driven by deeper farmers connect and continued expansion of our product portfolio. We are deeply committed to sustainability, innovation, and responsible growth with continued focus on delivering long-term value to our stakeholders while making a positive impact on the environment and the communities we serve.
