Coromandel Expands Agri-Retail Network with 1000th Gromor Store
04 September 2025, New Delhi: Coromandel International Limited has inaugurated its 1000th Gromor retail store in Kashti Village, Ahilyanagar, Maharashtra. The store, named ‘Apla Gromor,’ is part of the company’s retail network expansion.
The event was attended by Mr. Arun Alagappan, Executive Chairman, and Mr. S. Sankarasubramanian, Managing Director & CEO of Coromandel International Limited, along with senior officials.
Coromandel entered the rural retail space in 2007 under the “My Gromor” brand. The network now consists of 1000 company-owned, company-operated stores across five states: 766 Mana Gromor in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, 195 Namma Gromor in Karnataka, 23 Namadu Gromor in Tamil Nadu, and 16 Apla Gromor in Maharashtra. Together, these outlets serve over 3 million farmers. The company has announced plans to double the retail network over the next two years.
Each Gromor store provides agri-inputs including fertilizers, crop protection, biologicals, cattle feed, and farm implements. The outlets also offer services such as soil and carbon testing, agronomy support, drone spraying, and insurance. On average, each center serves 1000–1500 farmers across 10–15 villages.
The Gromor retail network is supported by the MyGromor app, which provides farm-specific advisory, product pricing, and pest and disease detection. The app has more than 1 million users and contributes 15% of store sales. Farmers can also access pricing information through auto-generated invoices, SMS updates, and delivery services.
The new Apla Gromor store in Kashti–Shrigonda will also function as a demonstration hub for digital farming solutions, including the MyGromor app and remote advisory tools. Coromandel has announced plans to establish 20 additional stores in Pune district, including five near Kashti.
Mr. Arun Alagappan, Executive Chairman, Coromandel International, said, “The inauguration of our 1000th ‘My Gromor’ store is a milestone in Coromandel’s journey of serving farmers. What began in 2007 as an entry into agri-retail has become one of the country’s largest agri-retail networks. We plan to expand further and strengthen our engagement with farmers.”
